DSKS433EB5WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

First the old knob was broken just pulled it off. made sure the metal piece was clean of all debris or junk and slide the new know on turned it to make sure it was snug and was ready to go. to easy

There really is not much to explain, the new knob was so simple to replace that my six year old could have done it. No tools were required and it took less than a minute to replace the new knob.

Pilled and unsnapped the old two gaskets. Then I used my air compressor and blew out the excess accumulated lint. Then I snapped in place the new gaskets. The only trick is to be sure both sides of the tabs are anchored in and that is where the small screwdriver is carefully used to push one side or the other of the tab into the slot.

Pull out old, insert new.

Just pulled off the old knob and pushed the new one onto the switch. Done in 1 minute.

just replaced the old knob

the part fixed all the problems in a cinch

Easy! Just took the broken knob and metal ring off, and put on the new knob. took less that one minute. Works like a charm now. No service call cost either!!

I just put the new knob where the old one was and presto it was done. The whole process was much easier than I expected.

Watched a video online on how to replace the belt, it pretty much told me what to look for to get the drum out. Followed the instructions sent with the bearing kit and removed the old bearing assembly. Ran the screws supplied with the kit into the bearing assembly before I installed it. This was a tip I got off PartsSelect website. Running the screws in first is a must! Had my wife hold the assembly in place while I ran the screws in. That part of the job is the only time you need an extra set of hands. Put the dryer back together and it works like a quiet champ now.

replaced rear drum bearing kit Still makes the same noise

First of all, I am a women...I read where it was probably my rear bearings so I ordered the part, it came in just right, then I replaced it put it all back together, and with the computers help, got it going, belt back on and all and then turned it on and walah it still made a loud noise. Shucks, so I read more and it said it could be the front bearings which I should have tried first but didn't read it first. Ordered part and put it on and wallah, that wasn't it. The noise sounded like the paper in a bicycle spoke so I checked the fan. There was the problem. The fan had so much dryer lint behind it it was forcing it against the housing making a noise. Cleaned it removed all the new unnessary parts and re-boxed them and put it back together but just before I put it together the door fell and two wires came loose so I plugged them back in and put the wrong one in the wrong place cause when I plugged the dryer in sparks went everywhere!!!! I need a man now!!! Scared of electricity!! Sure wish I knew if the noise was fixed :).

First I removed the drum as described in many other comments. Took me about 10 minutes, pretty easy. Replaced the part which was easy and could be figured out just by seeing how you took the original part off. The hard part was aligning the drum, drum washer, and metal plate back into the drum bearing. I tried over 2 hours to do this and because it rotates and it's almost impossible to line up all the holes, I decided to do it another way.

I took apart the drum bearing from the back panel and then outside of the dryer walls I aligned the drum, washer, metal plate and drum bearing. I screwed them all in together and then, went into the frame and reconnected it at the back w/ the horseshoe looking washer. It worked perfectly and I was frustrated that it took me so long to figure out a different way to do it.

I have to say because of the installation it was a little tough than anticipated but was very happy with the end result (no squeaking) and money savings. Definitely worth giving it a try if you're patient.

An easy fix. I was impressed with how fast I received the parts!1 Three days and that was during Christmas mailing season. I was very satified. Craig H. Tampa Florida
