DWSR483GB0WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

replaced in same position was previously

It just popped into place :)

Hello,

I just want to start by saying thanks to Partselect for having such a great website. The site is easy to navigate and with the explosion views allowed 'us novice' to select the right part the first time.

With post from previous DIY'ers, help make my repair very easy and simple. I had to replace the timer and the Pulley Idler. I first removed the top, leaving the timer panel connected by wires. I then removed the belt from the drum. That step was easy since the Pulley Idler was broke. I simply slid off the drum with ease. Once the belt was off I disassembled the front panel of the dryer. With the front panel off, I used a 3ft clamp to hold the drum in place while I unscrewed the three drum screws inside. I then pulled the drum out and set to the side. The tension pulley was simple to remove and reinstall. I reversed the steps above until the I got to the installation of the timer panel. With the new timer I put them side by side. I pulled one wire at a time and replaced to the new timer. Once all wires have been transferred, I then pulled the knob off the front. I used a small and medium flat head screwdriver, the small one to pry up the keeper flap and the medium to hold it. I was able to turn the timer and release it with ease. I then inserted the new timer and replaced the knob. I finished reinstalling the dryer and tested. Works great! This all took approximately an hour.

Snapped on new handel. Took all of 5 seconds. The hardest part was finding the part, which your website took care of....Thanks!

Silmply replaced the knob. This is the second knob I have replaced on this dryer. This time I bought two for when it happens again. Not sure if it is too much rension in the timer or too little strength in the knob, but is a design problem.

The fact that the knob on a 3yr old dryer broke was harder to deal with than the repair. It was lift the old knob off (it was very loose) and snugly slide the new knob on. I can get back to reading my book and my wife thinks I'm a hero win-win!

The pkg. came, I opened it and snapped the handle into the dryer hole & Wham -done!
No tools, no sweat! Could not believe how fast the door handle arrived-GREAT job!!! Will use this company again and tell my friends.
5 stars!!!!!!!

The door handle clicked into place (10 seconds).

I just snapped the door handle on the dryer in less than a minute. I am completely satified. Did I mention I received my part in one day. I ordered online before 3pm and received it the next day before 11am. Very impressed. Thanks PartSelect!!!

I broke the handle

First I removed the 2 screws that hold the lid down. Then I pulled the lid off. Then I removed the 2 screws that hold the front of the dryer in place. Then I lifted the drum a little and pulled the front cabinet out a little so I could see the drum slides. I removed the bad drum slides and installed the new ones. I then put everything back together and turned on the dryer. The squeeky noise was gone.

I took out a whooping four (4) screws, two that held down the top to the front panel then two screws that attached the side panels (at the top) to the front panel, raised the drum from the inside, leaned the front panel foreword, popped out the old slide (there was only one left), installed the four new slides & put it back together. That's pretty much all there was to it, vary simple.

The repair was extremely easy. Just pulled the broken knob off and replaced with the new one. No tools required.

This repair was SO easy, it took less than 5 minutes. All I had to do is snap the door handle into the slots and it was finished. "Piece of Cake"!
