Easy to install!
October 01, 2021|Bonny, Saco, ME

I watched the installation video twice, got the tools out and had the new switch installed in 20 minutes even though the wires attached to the old switch were separate, not in a nice bundle like in the video. I took a photo before I began and then transferred one wire at a time from the old switch to the new switch. Very easy!

Kenmore Dryer start button not functioning.
March 24, 2020|William f C M, Columbia MD

Part fit as expected (after verifying dryer model compatibility). Installed in 10 minutes. Dryer worked just fine. The problem that was corrected was that dryer start button no longer had to be pushed to start dryer. Just having it plugged in and door shut let dryer start. If turned to off position it would stop and then advance to next cycle and restart by itself. It would also stop (and stay stopped) if door was opened. Dryer now works completely as it should. What a relief.
