DPSB513EB0WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

Handle was the exact replacement slipped it into the handle slots and pushed in to lock in place.

Removed handle from box...walked into the laundry room...snapped part into the door panel. All done! Thanks for the prompt delivery.

It was really easy to find the correct part. It was shipped right away and fit perfectly when it got here. Very satisfied with the whole process. Thanks

Very easy to install, snaps right in.

The part was shipped quickly and I received it within the week. I was afraid that because it is an older dryer the new handle would not be compatible, but it was! It installed easily, it only took a few seconds to clip it in and now it's as good as new!

new handle just popped right in the slots

The repair was simple, the old one broke off and, the new one fit to a tee. Thanks Parts select.

You guys are awesome! It took me less than 5 minutes to look your company up, place the order, and closeout. Vroom...the part was to me in 3 days! I simply took it out of the wrapper, pressed the tabs into the existing slots, and done. And that cost....baby it's good. Thank you

Aligned new handle with slots in dryer door and snapped into place. It took 5 seconds.

New handle popped on easily. After 2 weeks the replacement handle just broke.

It took a while to diagnose the problem. I finally figured out it was the door switch by pushing it with my finger with the dryer door open and starting the dryer. It would run like that, but the switch was not being pressed in enough by the door. I ordered the switch and I should have been able to replace in about 15 min. But the old switch broke while I was removing it and it fell back inside the unit. So I had to remove the top and the front panel to access the door switch. That's why it took so long. If that had not happened it would have been a much simpler repair.

I followed the varied instructions out there for getting the dryer open. WATCH the videos on uTube; I took out more screws than needed on first attempt -- which isn't a big deal but took me longer than it should have to pull it apart. It appeared the grinding was coming from the dryer bearings due to some abrasion I could see and worn front slides, so I replaced the front slides (4) and the rear bearing. The kids helped by crawling inside the drum to tighten the new bearing bolts (just for fun). When I put it back together it was making a somewhat different grinding noise. It wouldn't make any noise until I put the belt AND front cover on and then it would make a periodic (about every 10 degrees) grind when I rotated the drum; I took it apart and the grinding would stop even if I rotated the blower by hand. Put it together, the grind would start .... It took me awhile to figure out that the blower retaining bolt had come loose so the plastic blower was grinding on the metal cover. CHECK THE BLOWER RETAINING BOLT visible from the front with the dryer door/cover off -- it's not obvious that it's loose by looking at it since the retaining clip still sits over the blower shaft even when it's loose. You might even see small nicks in the blower fan blade. It's super quiet now.

My dryer would run but not heat and the timer would not advance. PartSelect helped me determine that the heating element needed to be replaced. I have very little experience with appliance repair. I found this to be challenging but well worth it.

I opened the unit by removing the two screws over the door, lifting the top (careful not to break the plastic tabs connecting it in the rear to the electronic control panel), then removing the two screws securing the front so I could slide the drum forward and out (hoisting by the belt, bending the sides out slightly). I tested the heating elements for continuity, and tested the two thermostats on the left and right of the heating element for continuity. I found the wiring diagram in the control panel with the specs for the thermistors, which said they should read about 100 kOhm at room temperature. The two on the heating element were OK, but the thermistor on the back of the plastic output box read only about 6 kOhm. After ordering and installing the replacement, it took about 15 minutes to put the drum back in, re-thread the belt, and close the unit back up (thanks to some helpful videos on YouTube). This was the second time this thermistor failed! The first time was under warranty.

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.
