I need to replace the door switch but i cannot figure out how to get the top off. The videos i have watched are for different models and do not look like my model. I could not figure out how the top was attached from the parts drawings i have seen. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi Steve, thank you for your question. Much like in this installation video: https://youtu.be/95sXlRjCsXw. You would have to pop the clips that are holding your top to the rest of the cabinet. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Dryer makes a high squilling noise. Sometimes intermittent other times constant.

Hello, Thank you for your question. Typically that is caused from a worn belt- PartSelect Number: PS11722115. You will need to look into this and possible replace it. We hope this helps.

Dryer was working, but no heat.
First I unplugged the dryer, then removed the back panel, this exposed most all of the wiring and I could see the heater coils.
Not knowing what the problem was I started looking at the coils and could not see any broken parts.
So then checked the thermal fuse for continuity I removed the two wires from it with a small pair of needle nose pliers, it was held in place by two screws, once they were removed the fuse came out easily, I checked continuity with a volt meter placing the meter on X1 Ohms and could not get a reading.
I replaced with a new one and put it all back together the way I took it apart.
Then I plugged it in and it worked first time, I now have warm dry clothes.

No heat but would run otherwise
Cleaning the lint out of the whole machine took quite a bit of time--it was everywhere. Underneath the lint trap was a collection that ultimately ruined the thermal fuse where it restricted the air flow considerably.

Ascertaining the problem was the most time consuming part.

The actual repair was quite simple and didn't take but 15-20 minutes.
