    Ge dryer
    This has been a little crazy! My dryer is taking 2 and 3 cycles to dry clothes so I was trying to take the back off to see if there was a lint clog somewhere. After taking 4 screws of the back and realizing I was in over my head, I tried to put them back on. They won't go in! Any ideas? Thanks.

    The trick with replacing screws in a big piece of sheet metal is to put one screw in and tighten it only enough to keep it from falling out (maybe 2 turns). Then, go to the diagonally opposite corner and put the second screw in the same way. Do that for the other screws, and finally go back and tighten them all down snug.

    Hope this helps,
