HTX24GASK0WS General Electric Dryer - Instructions

First I called to get help with the right part and they told me I needed the pus-to-start-switch. It came in and I called my handyman Ed to install it. I am happy with your service. I dont install but just got the part in.

Advice from others with same problem on your web site was very helpful. I removed one of the three torx screws holding the deflecter, Used 2.5 star-drive screw diver bit and cordless drill/driver. Replaced 2 of three torx screws holding the deflecter with the headless brass screws, Using vice grip to tighten. Removed third torx screw and removed old deflector. Used shop vac to clean behind it. Installed new deflector, sliding it over the 2 headless screws, then installing one of the torx screws, then replacing the brass screws with original torx screws, one at a time.

Having 2 persons make the job easier.
1) Remove the screws that holds the hinge to the body of the unit.
2) Remove the screws around the door so you can get to the hinge.
3) Remove bad hinge and replace with new one.

Very simple and easy it took no more than 10 seconds if that long. Remove the worn out screen (pull up and out), replace it with the new screen( slide it into the area where the old screen was removed. (No tools needed)

Just put new lint filter in slot
I had torn the screen on the original one

Unscrewed the top back of dryer and replaced the unit 1 wire at a time also was easier due to the letters besides the wire

I just popped in the new Filter and it fit perfectly. This will prolong the dryer use, looks like new.

Thank you Part Select.

remove top of cabinet and front panel. placed belt around drum and replaced idler pully placed new belt around pully and was done. not a hard job at all. replced front panel and top. thanks to a speedy delivery of my parts dryer was only down two days.

Lift the lint filter and slide the 2 hooked ends into the 2 holes provided . Front end is locked in as other end is suspended .

Removing top of the dryer removing the back side panels of the dryer pulling back the back of the dryer to access to the thermostats left in the drum up to put it in the place secure all the screws and put everything together.

Originally I thought that the Start switch was the issue, and ordered one. After taking the machine apart and running some tests, the issue was clearly not this switch, but a different switch that cuts power when the belt tension is no longer being applied to the idler pulley spring. I fixed this by bypassing this switch, which in my opinion, is error prone and serves no purpose. The switch can be accessed by removing the control panel, then top cover, then front cover, then drum. The bogus switch is screwed to the bottom left, near the motor. The idler pulley spring rests against it. Just disconnect the switch wires, then clip, strip and crimp then together to bypass the switch, and voila! Now if the belt breaks or comes off the pulley, the motor will continue to run, but you wont hear the wet clothes flopping around, so that will be the indication that you have a belt problem. Hope that helps!

Took the front panel off. 2 screws on top of the front panel when you open the door, 2 right next to the door opening. Next gently pry up the top panel in the front of the dryer to remove 2 black screws in the front corners. Now the front panel can gently be pulled back and then lift up and the frpnt panel can be put to side. Now you have acces to remove and replace the drum bearing glides. They just clip in. Also a good time to inspect the belt and clean out the dryer.

removed old lint trap cleaned excess lint that fell inside from the broken lint trap made it easier for new lint trap to slide in.
