      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:

Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Samsung dv42h5000ew-a3 dryer door guide screw

I tried to reverse my dryer door using these instructions, but the door guide screw (outlines in red in the attached photo) dropped down inside the door/front assembly and I can’t retrieve it. What replacement part (screw) do I need to fix this? TIA!US_Ans_HA_DRY__DV457EVGSGRAA1-2017_-Drye

They doesn’t  list a part number for the screw.

I would think you could find a screw that would work or you could omit the screw since all it really does is hold the door in place for disassembly and assembly. If you omit it you would want to warn anybody who services it so they don’t drop your door even though I can’t think of ever taking the door off other then to replace the hinge or reverse to door. 

You could also pull the front off and retrieve the screw, it only takes a few minutes to do. Just take the top off by removing the screws on the back, remove the control panel by pulling up and forward and set to the side, remove the 4 screws under where the control panel was holding the front panel on, lift up on the front panel to get over the tabs that hold it in place or bend them down with a screw driver (just remember to bend them back up), remove the connector for the door switch, set front panel aside, then you should be able to find the screw.
