GMMP280ED6WS General Electric Dryer - Instructions

Looked on the internet for video of how to do the repair and then did the repair replacing the timer and the control knob. It took about 25 minutes. It works like new.

Removed front panel and top of dryer. Pried of bearing bracket,it came of easier than I expected.Mounted the 2 white and two gray bearing strips onto the bearing bracket and reinstaled onto the front panel. When I ordered the new bearing bracket i asumed the bearing strips would come with it, to my amazement they did not. I called partselect and with the help of the representative ordered the bearings. To my pleasent surprise the parts arived the next day and I was able to complete the repairs.

Dryer would turn on when you pushed the "on" button, but as soon as you let go, it would turn off. Found the plastic door switch cracked (from slamming door closed). Unplugged the dryer. Unscrewed the two screws inside the top of the door to unfasten the top panel. Took the top panel off. Then unscrewed the two screws on the side to unlatch the front panel. Used plyers to take the 3 wires off the switch and slid the switch through the front of the door. Juat remember where the wires go. Then inserted new switch and connected the wires. Vacuumed out the dryer and reassembled. It took about 20 minutes and was easy! If I can do it, you can!!!

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.

It took a while to diagnose the problem. I finally figured out it was the door switch by pushing it with my finger with the dryer door open and starting the dryer. It would run like that, but the switch was not being pressed in enough by the door. I ordered the switch and I should have been able to replace in about 15 min. But the old switch broke while I was removing it and it fell back inside the unit. So I had to remove the top and the front panel to access the door switch. That's why it took so long. If that had not happened it would have been a much simpler repair.

Removing the old door was the problem as the old screws were rusty. Then, because we are not very spatially adept, we had trouble putting the door back together with correct hinge alignment. This should have taken about an hour and the part was perfect. The dryer, which we were going to throw away, looks and works perfectly! Parts Select offers great, timely service.

Order online with my model number looked at picture of my dryer online order the part that I needed and 2 days later came via mail 15 mins around 50 bucks savings of 150 at least

All we had to do was snap it back into place on the door

Ordered new part, part came in, snapped in to place. Took less than 5 minutes, the hardest part was getting the part out of the package.

removed the old broken handle, and snapped the new one in place, total time; 10 seconds.

Snapped on the new on the new one. all done

All that was needed when I got the new handle from Fed-ex, was simply to line-up the clips with the holes in the door and push in till everything snapped in place. It was very easy. It took longer to open the package than to attach the handle.

Handle was the exact replacement slipped it into the handle slots and pushed in to lock in place.

Removed handle from box...walked into the laundry room...snapped part into the door panel. All done! Thanks for the prompt delivery.

It was really easy to find the correct part. It was shipped right away and fit perfectly when it got here. Very satisfied with the whole process. Thanks
