What steps do I need to do to access the dryer starter switch without breaking anything?
For model number GLEH1642FS4
Hello Stephen, Thank you for your inquiry. To access the switch, you need to remove the end caps holding on the control panel, they should be held on with philips head screws. Gently pull each of the knobs off using a piece of string or rubber underneath the edges. There are also additional screws holding the outer panel on, remove those as well as the screws holding the panel underneath on. You should now be able to access the switches. Make note of how the wires are connected and then disconnect them from the switch. You should not be able to install the new switch and reverse the process to put the panels back on. We hope this helps and if you need a part in the future and need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

Today, I received the dryer starter switch. I have taken off all knobs except, the wash selector knob. This knob does not seem to want to come off in the same was the other knobs. How do I safely get this knob off?
