DWXR483EB2CC General Electric Dryer - Instructions

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.

After reading a slew of scenarios that sounded exactly like my situation, I decided that the logical thing to do was give it a go myself. Everyone mentioned how simple it was--pop off the cover, remove wires, reconnect wires to new starter, and boom--up and running. A $22 part (that came VERY quickly) vs a min $100 repair person house call--and who knows if they would have taken me down that path we all know too well..."well, it's a complicated problem and will need blah, blah, blah, and $$$. Even my wife was impressed at how I "diagnosed" AND fixed the problem easy, quickly, and for a $22 part! Very pleased (with myself, too)!

Pulled power plug. Removed the "Start/Stop knob" Removed 4 starbit screws across the top of the control panel. Flipped control panel down(toward front of dryer)to expose swithes. Aligned the new switch next to the switch being replaced, removed a wire and re-installed on the new switch. I did for each wire. To remove old switch, rotate counter-clockwise and lift out. Line up slots on new switch to panel slots, push down and rotate clockwise to lock in place. Re assemble panel, line up slot on switch knob to switch shaft and press on.

I took off the dryer top and saw it was the slides went on line found PartsSelect, found my dryer, ordered the parts and had them within two days and it took me about 15 minutes to fix the dryer which will add about 3-4 years more life on it. Thank You PartsSelect My wife is even happier

Just like the other stories, remove the top and front of the dryer, replace the bearing and slides (or slides only if needed). I ordered only the slides, but also needed the bearing because I didn't realize the drum had worn through the bearing already.

I was teaching my associate how to do this repair so I showed him how to take off the top of the dryer. Then I showed him how to replace the drum slides. I had him clean out the dryer since we had it apart, and I also showed him how to remove the drum and then reinstall it. This was a very easy repair, and he learned a lot that he otherwise would not have known. Thanks for getting the parts to me so quickly. Rob from Clarks Summit.

Started out by unplugging appliance then pulled off knob, removed 4 screws that held cover in place, removed wires from switch, rotated switch to remove. reversed steps to replace.

r/r parts unit runs great

Repair was VERY easy - 4 screws total! Used google to find a video online that showed the steps.

All is necessary is remove 3 philip screws, remove the switch knob, lift a tab on the switch, rotate the switch counterclockwise and it was out. Pull wires off switch and immediately put them on the corresponding terminals of the new switch before reversing the above steps. Simple!!!

First I got the front bearing, found out I needed the slides too. It was binding at first, so I undid an earlier misadjustment I made (on the back drum mount). and it works!

very simple , unplug dryer and unhook the back of the top of dryer using a screwdriver on 6 screws. unhook clip to the rotary starter switch and unhook the three pronged plugs that go to the starter switch. replace new one that snaps into place, plug back in the three wires. screw the back of the dryer back on and your done. 6 minute job that saves you 40-50+ dollars for a repair man plus the extra money they mark up the parts

Pulled front panel off, popped off the old switch, popped on the new switch. Good to go.

1. Unplugged dryer
2. Removed 6 phillips screws from back control panel
3. removed wires one at a time and installed on new switch
4. removed knob
5. lift lock lever and rotate switch ccw
6. installed new switch , rotate cw and be sure lock lever secures switch.
7. install back panel and knob

I followed the great tips from the other repairs and that part was easy. Turned out not to be the exact problem. The problem was the rear bearing shaft which in another 20 min I had the drum out and repaired. Now the dryer is like new and will hopefully last another 5 yrs.
Thanks Parts Select for your help!
