DPSF495EW1WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

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

Before ordering from PartSelect I had checked both the original vendor and a local repair shop. The vendor had nothing, said try online. The shop said they could order it for twice the price.

PartSelect sent exactly what I needed pronto. I pulled off the old knob. I pressed on the new knob.
Done.

The repair was pull old one off and replace new knob. Receiving the new knob was amazing. Ordered one afternoon and received new part by 11 am next morning at regular shipping. You can't ask for anything better than that. Thank you

I ordered to timer knob. Its was delievered in two days. When I received it, My bother and I looked at it expecting more than what we received, We said to each other this isn't going to work. I told my bother to go on and try it anyway. He took the old timer knob off and then removed a clamp at the base of the timer knob fitting. He then placed the timer knob back of the fitting. Turned the dryer on and it started right up. We were both shocked that it ran and that it was so easy to fix. Thank you PartSelect. Great customer service. I have already ordered a part for his refrigerator! Can't wait till we get the part. I'm sure its going to work just fine.

My husband snapped the new know easily into place.

I was tired of the process after having the know break three times in less than three years which makes me think there is a design flaw.

Dryer would turn on when you pushed the "on" button, but as soon as you let go, it would turn off. Found the plastic door switch cracked (from slamming door closed). Unplugged the dryer. Unscrewed the two screws inside the top of the door to unfasten the top panel. Took the top panel off. Then unscrewed the two screws on the side to unlatch the front panel. Used plyers to take the 3 wires off the switch and slid the switch through the front of the door. Juat remember where the wires go. Then inserted new switch and connected the wires. Vacuumed out the dryer and reassembled. It took about 20 minutes and was easy! If I can do it, you can!!!

Faulty Door switch. Dryer would heat up so I knew it wasn't thermostat or element related.

I didn't have a part number and went online and matched the part to the picture. It came the next day by FedEx and it took less than 5 minutes to replace the old part with the new part. Really simple and easy!

Before removing the old part,took photo with my phone camera to document the color wires hook up. Screwed in the new part and hooked up the color coded wires using the photo as reference. I was surprised how easy it was. Thanks. Partselect gave me fast shipping, cheap price and great customer service.

Followed the Part Select video instructions which made the repair really easy!! Thanks for a job well done! ALSO.. the drum wobble was not caused by worn slides and felt. There are three screws holding the drum axle flange. Two of them fell out leaving the drum to flop about as it rotated. So we scavenged some screws from elsewhere on the dryer and problem solved. Once again.. thanks to Part Select for great instructional videos and great customer service ordering parts.

Replaced drum bearing part and white slides.The problem was that it was not the drum slide support. It appears to be the the drum rear bearing of whch I am now ordering. The bearing replacement is a little more difficult, but I have taken this on as a challenge

After some research on the internet, I deduced the squeaking sound in our dryer was due to defective drum glides. I ordered a set of four of the white type, knowing only our model requires four glides, but not knowing there are two types for two locations. After disassembling the dryer I realized I needed more parts - two green slides and a new top bearing assembly. The dryer drum had eaten thru glides and into the plastic assembly. That was the reason for the squeaking noise - metal sliding against hard plastic. I ordered the additional parts directly from the manufacturer to ensure I got it right. After all the parts arrived, the repair was easy and took less than 30 minutes. I actually had my 17 year-old daughter do the work to teach her some skills. I just instructed her and stepped in on assembling the top that was just a bit tricky to put back on. Problem fixed.

TOO EASY to repair. WORKS GREAT>
