DPSF505EW1WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

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.

We ordered a timer knob from partselect.com and within 24 hours received our new, better, stronger time knob in the mail. We were very impressed with the customer service of this company and will definitely recommend to friends.

opened the package when the part came,(the selection knob) stuck it in the timer hole and turned the dryer on...took less than 15 seconds.

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.

I went online and ordered the part number WE1M654 and it came within 2 days and just pulled the old knob off and inserted the new knob and it worked.

took the knob out of the bag and snapped it into place...all done!!!

Took new knob out of bag,slid new knob on. Worked great

I matched the flat part of the knob to the dryer part and pushed into place.

I did as the video instruction showed me. I used the pliers and with one pull the metal piece came off and I just put the new knob on it did not take a minute.It was so easy. I am so happy to know that I can get my parts at a great price and do it myself. I have a service plan through my electric company that I pay a fee monthly and if I need services for any appliances there is an additional $25.00 for services and that does not include the part needed to fix my dryer. I ordered my own part with shipping and handling and it still came out less than $25 with no additional fee. I am very satisfied that I now can order parts and do it myself. Thank you PartSelet.

I had found out that reason the timer knob cracked was because the timer switch was turning very tight and caused the knob to crack and realized that dryer also needed a timer switched witch I also ordered from you. I really like how very helpful parts select is with the instructions you send along with the parts I ordered witch will save alot of time. Thanks For your help Ezequiel Escamilla

We thought the timer was out on the dryer so I was looking for a new timer when I came across a video on your site about replacing a broken timer knob, so I decided to check the knob first and sure enough it was cracked. This video saved me a lot of time and money. Shipment was quick. Thanks.

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.

Finding the part number on the site was very easy. Replacement came in a few days. Replacement was very easy. The only thing that might have been tricky was knowing to remove the old metal insert. That issue was covered in the helpful video making this a "no brainer".

I checked the part number on the knob. Found the 1-800 number on a label in the door of the dryer. Called the number and easily ordered the part. The customer service associate that answered my call said it would be here in 3-5 budiness days. To my surprise, it was on my doorstep the next day. I simply placed it where it needed to go and wah-la!! I had a working knob again. My phone call to parts service went very smoothly and delivery was extra speedy!! Very satisfied.
