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!!!

Dryer was making a horrific screeching noise which was coming from the front of the drum. Ordered the drum bearing slides, felt seal and front bearing. Before the parts arrived we watched an 8 minute video on how to replace the either the bearing or the drum seal. Excellent information - we followed the gentleman's directions and the whole thing was complete in less than an hour - including completely cleaning the inside of the dryer ! Very satisfied with the parts and service - I was going to buy $500 replacement.

Originally ordered heating element kit, but decided to replace drum slides and "o"-ring while the dryer was dis-assembled.Replacing the dryer elements was relatively easy-just follow instructions. Replacing the slides and o-ring was very easy, just clip in place. The dryer vent was almost totally clogged and probably the cause of most problems. This took longer than all mechanical repairs as I have a long dryer vent. I suggest cleaning the dryer vent regularly to avoid problem. I used a 4" circular brush and cordless drill to clean the duct. If you have not cleaned your vent in 2-3 years, you will be amazed at the amount of lint build-up. I was very pleased with the price of parts and customer service at Parts-Select, estimate I saved approximately $250-300.

Removed top screws. Removed front panel screws. Removed front panel. Replaced worn slides. Removed drum. Replaced drum bearing and retainer. Cleaned lint from dryer, motor and blower assembly. Replaced light bulb. Door latch was purchased as spare. Inspected heating element. Re -assembled. Dryer now running like new again. I expect to have restring a new element in the near future. I like how the GE dryer comes apart. It is best to replace the slides before they wear all the way through.

Bearing, felt ring and slides replacement remove the back of the control panel(3 screws),top of dryer(2 screws),unplug 2 wire plugs top left, remove control panel, lay it up top with other wires still in tack, remove front(4 screws), snap out the old top bearing(pay attention to how the wires clip in. mount the bulb into the new bearing and snap it back in, stick in the new slides and and new felt ring(theres a vidio for this repair on you tube from this web site) re assemble.

Watched the how to do video,which really helped and was done in 15 minutes and probaly save $100 dollars that a service company would have charged.

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.

Wife was out of town, visiting family. I broke the door strike by wedging the dryer door between the laundry room door, closed the laundry room door and it snapped the door strike breaking it. I ordered the part, and it shipped fast using the standard shipping, nothing fancy. Grabbed a pair of pliers and pushed the new door strike into place. It snapped right in, fits and works perfect like nothing ever happened. The wife will never know :)

The repair was simple, the old one broke off and, the new one fit to a tee. Thanks Parts select.

I watched video supplied from parts select, only took about 30 minutes, hardest part was putting belt back on, couldn't fit hands in easily, but once I did it, dryer is like new, can't hear a thing.

I watched video from parts select, it was so easy i couldn't believe it. Only thing is it didn't fix noise completely, so had to order rear drum bearing kit. Definitely worth doing yourself.

Unplug dryer, unscrew bulb then replace with a new bulb. Plug dryer back in.

I found the repair videos on YouTube for my exact model of dryer and they made the repairs look easy, so I decided to do the troubleshooting and repairs myself. I figured it had to be the glides and/or the belt, and my husband told me he found the felt seal in pieces in the lint trap, so I ordered that part too. He told me he was afraid I would mess up the dryer, but I explained it was already messed up and convinced him to let me try. I followed the steps on the video and it was easy. The glides were warn down to nothing but the belt was fine, so I just replaced the glides and front felt drum seal. I needed a little "man power" to lift the drum to get the front back on, but other than that, a 5'1" middle aged woman did all the repairs herself! Thanks for the videos and the link to your website. You made it a great experience!

With the help of doityourself on the internet. great instructions
