GTMP280GD6WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

Simply pulled off the old handle and snapped in the new one! No tools required. Took about 5 seconds!

just snap in replacement

Just popped the new door handle on.

This repair was SO easy, it took less than 5 minutes. All I had to do is snap the door handle into the slots and it was finished. "Piece of Cake"!

The door to the clothes dryer would not open without the handle. To be able to use the dryer I secured the handle in place with packaging tape. The Part Select website made it extremely easy to identify the replacement part using just the model number. I placed the order on Thursday afternoon and received the part on Friday morning. I had to twist the broken handle to remove it from the door. Then I was able to snap in the replacement handle back in place with little force. Thanks to Part Select my problem was easily rectified.

The pkg. came, I opened it and snapped the handle into the dryer hole & Wham -done!
No tools, no sweat! Could not believe how fast the door handle arrived-GREAT job!!! Will use this company again and tell my friends.
5 stars!!!!!!!

The door handle clicked into place (10 seconds).

it was easy, it clip right on.needed to give it a little tap to get it in .

It was so easy, I just depressed a couple of tabs and it popped right in!

This is the 2nd time in 3 years I had to do this repair. There needs to be a better design. I suggest that when you hear squeeking that you replace the teflon pcs fast so you don't have to replace the drum bearing.
Now for the repair. Take dryer door off (4 screws) it makes the repair easier. There is 2 long screws that hold the top to the front of the dryer. Once removed you can pull out the top of the front of dryer and it unhooks from the bottom. I suggest using the vacuum and clean thoroughly while you have it apart. Unplug the wire for the light (3 wires) so you can completely remove the front of the dryer. The drum bearing snaps out (after you remove the light bulb). Insert 4 new teflon pcs into new drum bearing before re-attaching to dryer. Plug the wires back in and put the light bulb back in. Hook the bottom to the dryer and make sure bearing goes areound drum when putting back on. Put 2 long screws back in to attach the top to the front. Re-attach door and your job is done. You should not have to disconnect dryer from gas but you should unplug dryer. This is a very easy repair. I don't know why they call this part a drum bearing when there is no bearings involved at all.

First I removed the two screws on the underneath side in the door at the top and removed the old drum bearing and installed new one with the 2 new plastic slide bearing. It was easy and I will tell all of my friends and family about the website. Service was fast and simple to order the right part. Thank you.......Linda

This dryer uses pieces of slippery plastic on a plastic support attached to the dryer front as a drum bearing. Over time the slippery plastic wears out and the underlying support will wear through like mine did.
To replace this, first unplug the dryer and then remove the two screws inside the top edge of the door opening to free the top of the dryer cabinet. You may want to remove the door first for easier handling. Next lift up the cabinet top and pull it free to expose the drum and bearings. The front of the dryer is held on with two screws at the top front corners, remove these and tilt the front forward to expose the drum bearings. remove any remaining plastic sliders and pull the old bearing support free, stating at the top and watching out for the light bulb if present. Then install the new bearing support and replace the sliders. Now tilt the front panel back into place, guiding the bearings into the drum and lining up the tabs and slots. Replace the screws, this requires some fiddling to get the alignment right, then work the top panel back into place, reinstall the screws in the door opening and replace the door if it was removed.

just 4 slots where the handle goes. Snapped handle into slots, good as new.

Very simple...just remove the inside of the door & replace.Great service on delivery of item ordered.quick!

First I consulted the video on this website to see how to do the job. Really nothing too complicated. Believe it or not, the toughest part of the job was dealing with the confined space and the heat of the boiler room. We have our hot water heater in there also, so it's always hot in there. The actual repair is easy. Remove the top and front. Four screws total. Take the front and swing it to the side. The one thing I did which made it a lot easier to remove the drum was to take the lower sheet metal screws out of the lower support to sides. This enables you to swing the sides out of the way to take the drum out with ease. It also makes it easier to put the belt back on the pulley and motor. Something not mentioned in the video. The rest was straight forward. Be careful when replacing the front. I inadvertently knocked off one of the wires for the door switch and had to take it apart again. Double check those slide on connectors before reassembly. Dryer works like a charm and is as quiet as a mouse (a dead mouse!) Thanks for your parts and video help.
