The Start knob broke off
At first the knob seemed like it would not fit on, but after I sprayed it with WD-40 oil, it slipped with a gentle, steady push

Back Drum Bearing Worn Out
It took about 20 minutes, first I popped the top off using a flat screwdriver in my leatherman and removed the wires on the door switch then two screws holding the front on, and then I removed the drum which took a little longer because the belt tensioner was difficult to release because of limited space. Removed old bearing (ball and socket) and replaced with new one. I then reassembled in reverse order. Working great. . .

no heat, but still tumbling
Good thing my husband is so handy. This part was very difficult to get to. Basically, he had to take apart almost the whole dryer. There is no access door so the side panel had to be removed, but before you could do that the front panel and door had to come off, then the top of the dryer. Keep track of the screws, we had a few leftover! But the dryer works great again and we hope to get several more years out of it. We've had no problems with it until now and it's over 15 yrs. old.

Start knob was broken off flush with switch
I turned off the power, unscrewed the 4 screws from the top of the dryer. I then opened it and turned the switch that was in there counterclockwise exactly as utube video said to do. I then took off the two wires from the old switch. The rotary start switch fix right in where the old one was. I put the panel back together, put on the old knob and turned the power back on! It took less than 15 minutes from start to finish! If I can do it anyone can! Joanne Klinkhammer Cecil, Wisconsin

Timers are made to turn clockwise and break when turned counter clockwise
We are a retirement community and when we opened March '07 the company purchased GE washer and dryers to go in our common area laundry rooms for the residents to use. Because of their age, they will often turn the knob counter clockwise and not the right diirection which breaks the device which is not good. With in 3 days of installation they had broken 2 of the new knobs.
But, the ordering was simple, the shipment was fast and the install was quick for the maintenance tech.

broken spindle which required a total switch replacement.
It took longer to vaccume the lint out of the machine than to change the part.
The part replacement is done without any tools.
My wife could have done it

Start switch broke off
I followed the video instructions. I did have to run to the hardware store to pick up a torx screwdriver but otherwise the instructions were perfect. I generally hire someone to do repairs, but this was too easy! I highly recommend doing this yourself as it is definitely a time and money saver. The website made ordering easy and the part arrived quickly!

Drum would not turn at full speed, noisy squeak
Top control panel removed; next used screwdriver to lift up dryer top on each side( the top of dryer is attached by clips on the underside) the dryer front panel has two screws, one on each side of inside front(they are easy to reach and near the top of the inside front panel, after removing these two screws we used screwdriver again to pry off front panel as it is attached also by clips on inside of front panel. At this point there is easy access to the drum where the old belt was removed, new belt put in place; removed small panel on back of dryer to access idler pulley and attached new belt through the pulley; turned the drum a couple of times by hand to check if belt was running true on the drum; problem fixed.

Dryer start switch broken off
Put in the new switch and it starts great. Now that it runs there is no heat. I assume the elements are out.
