GTDP200GF5WS General Electric Dryer - Instructions

Searched the sites order # online, called, ordered, delivered PDQ, unpackaged, popped in. That was it.

All I had to do was remove the damaged filter and replace it with te new one. It could not ave been easier.

Pull to remove old knob, push to install new.

After watching the video, the repair was very simple. There were no hiccups along the way. Special mention: the customer service is the best I've ever interacted with. Thank for making this a stress free experience.

was no repair- removed filter from door and installed new filter into door. No tools required.

When I ordered it in the email receipt were directions- just click installation instructions- I also looked at u tube video by just typing in GE Dryer timer repair. It took longer to clean the floor where the dryer sat for years since we never move it. Cleaning time is included in the 15 minutes— You will feel great since just saved a ton of money. So glad I found you for future issues with appliance repair. There are U Tube videos to fix everything. Robert Maheu Huntington Beach

I followed the Youtube video created by PartSelect and it was SUPER easy.
Removed dial from front panel
I unscrewed the back panel, which released the knob panel on the front and tipped that forward to access the timer device.
Released the locking tab and spun the entire timer counter clockwise until it released. Pulled each connecting wire off and immediately replaced it on the new timer so I didn't mix up the order.
Once wires were attached, I replaced timer turning clockwise until it locked in place.
Re-positioned front panel and replaced back panel installing screws.
Replaced dial and dryer was ready to go!

Removed old one, inserted new one in slot. Just have to be sure it's turned in the right direction.

Hand replace

removed remaining handle pieces and simply snapped the new part in place. very simple,very easy.

My husband and I are the least repair-oriented people in the world. We can, however, follow instructions.

We were seriously trying to decide whether to call a repairperson or buy a new dryer, since dryer is over 5 years old, and it does not seem that appliances last any more. (New dryer: probably over $700)

Read about issue on PartSelect. Found clear and easy to follow explanations. Thought we needed a new timer, and considered buying one. Installation instructions seemed clear and simple enough for even us to do. Pulled off old timer knob to discover the back was cracked, which was why it was spinning.

Bought control knob. Pushed it on. Perfect!
Total time for repair: about 10 seconds
Total cost (including shipping) about $33

After unplugging the dryer, I removed 2 metal screws up under the dryer sill rim, and removed the dryer top. Then, removed two more at the top of the front (door) section to remove it.

I wasn't careful enough when removing the door, and the wiring connectors popped loose from their connections. No harm done, though. Disconnect the wires once you remove the front panel.

I had to loosen the bottom metal screws on one side panel to have enough give to pull the dryer drum out.

The only way to replace the belt is to bend over the side of this unit and with one hand put the belt around the motor drive shaft, pull the tension pulley back, and put the belt on the wheel.

The hard part is working the drum back into place while VERY carefully slipping the belt into the drum goove. Many attempts were made only to have the belt slip off of the tension pulley or motor driveshaft. Be care full to turn the drum clock wise if the belt twists while working it into the drum groove. It was very disappointing to finally get the belt on, and work the drum back into place only to discover I had twisted the belt with the smooth side making contact on the driveshaft. Thus, I started over.

Aiming the drum into the back of the dryer is a tough task. I recommend a 1" X 4 " X 12" board to slip under the drum when beginning this process to help stablize, and guide the drum. It helped me tremendously, and was easy to remove out from under the drum once everything was back in place.

Use gloves. Yes, tough to work with in small places, and I did take them off to replace the belt around the tension pulley, however, there are too many sharp edges on the metal body of the dryer and especially the drum to do so without gloves.

Wires were easy to reattach and reassembly was smooth except for the top...check out the tabs, and spring tabs before you try and just plop the top back on. It goes a certain way...You'll know what i am talking about when you do this task.

I truly hope you have L O N G arms to do this task, and that the new belt lasts a long, long time!

Exactly how your perfect video instructions showed me. Thank you for a job well done!

Follow the instructions from YOUTUBE to replace the new drive belt..

Replaced it as one would. I took off the front facing and replaced the belt. It took a bit of searching to find the proper way to route the belt around the pulley.

It took a while since it was my first time and I wasn't sure what to take apart and what to leave intact.

If I were to do it again, it would take 30 minutes or less.
