DX4500GA3WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

I followed the directions from the previous post. It was much easier than described. I got the part, removed 4 screws, removed the top, pulled the front and replaced the part. It was all together again in 15 minutes. Dryer sounds great again! I'm so glad I didn't call a repair man!

The knob had broken off a few months ago. I didn't think to look for one on the internet. I finally googled the brand name and part number and your company came up. It had the picture of the part which I ordered immediately. It came in the mail really quickly. I was so excited when I received the knob. I took it out of the package and slipped it over the stem in less than a minute. It went on perfectly. Now I no longer need to use pliers to turn on the dryer. It looks great and I am no longer inconvenienced. I love the new knob and would do business with this company again.

I thought that the timer was broken but when I pulled the knob off, there was a slight crack in it so before I contemplated calling a service person, I ordered a new knob. Now it works just fine and turns with the usual 'clicks' that I wasn't hearing since it broke. For the $20 ( including S&H ) It was worth the try. Thanks for the website, very easy to use!

Took it out of the package. Slid in it in place, took less than two minutes.

Received rotary start switch, unplugged dryer, removed screws from cover, rotated cover down toward front, removed wires from old switch to new switch, lifted tab on side of old switch and rotated counterclockwise to remove old switch, installed old switch in reverse order, replaced cover, plugged in dryer and test operation was good.

Opened the door and removed 2 screws from inside/top of door. Removed top and then removed 2 screws from back of front panel. Lifted drum slightly to remove front panel and attached new slides.

I opened the control panel from the back. I held the new switch next to the old switch and changed one wire at a time so that I would be sure they were connected in the same manner. It was simple. I have American Home Shield and I usually call them for repairs. Sometimes they are slow and after 3 days the contractor that they usually call didn't have a work order from them. I was tired of waiting so I ordered the part myself. I got overnight shipping and repaired it myself for about half what the American Home Shield minimum charge would have been. The day I got the dryer working again, the contractor called to scheduyle a time to come to my house. I told him the repair was done and I didn't need him. It made me feel good to take care of it myself and save money too.

Pushed new knob on starter shaft.

We ordered the part and I remember coming to this website and reading the reviews. So when my husband came home we pulled out the dryer and we unscrewed the back of the top plate. We then took the needle nose pliers totake the wire off which there are three of them just remember when changing the switch where the red wire goes instead of going uotop it goes on the bottom. After that we were done and I would say that it took about 15 minutes. When doing this make sure unplug the dryer before you do anything.

Our repair was super easy. All we had to do was line the new Timer Knob up with the knob on the dryer and slip it on. Thank you!

Simple replacement. Very easy.

Pop off top access panel twist switch out and reverse twist switch back in. . Very simple

With your drawings, we identified the part and my wife installed it by herself about 3 days after we ordered it. Great Service! Thanks

1. Unplug. 2. Remove 4 screws with hex screwdriver. 3. Remove 2 left Knobs. 4. Lean panel Forward. 5. Remove Switch by depressing clip and twisting from Slot. 6. Take off one wire at a time from old switch and replace on new switch. 7. Lean Panel forward and reinstall 4 screws. 8. Replug and turn on Dryer. AMAZING HOW SIMPLE IT WAS. THIS IS THE 3RD SWITCH IN 9 YEARS. THE FIRST TIME IT COST $45 FOR SERVICE CALL PLUS $20 FOR PART. I REPLACED 2 TIMES FOR $15 EACH TIME (Includes shipping cost of part.

I Removed 5 "Star Screws" for access to the back side of operating switch panel. Removed wires from old start switch, then removed switch. Installed new start switch and wires. I re-installed access panel and star screws. Dryer was back to normal. Total time: less than 10 minutes.

I was very happy with partsselect.com. The website was VERY easy to use. I placed my order about noon and I received the start switch before 10:00 am via FedEx the next day. Thanks for your help PartsSelect!
