Hard plastic shaft on timer rounded out from use and would no longer turn the timer control.
Looked up the part numbers in the GE Owner's Manual, ordered the parts on the web from PartSelect.com. When part arrived, I (1)unpluged the dryer; (2)took six philip head screws out of the back of the controls area; (3)twisted the timer to the left to remove it; (4)removed the wires one at a time and inserted them on the new timer; (5)a quick twist of the new timer put it back in place on the dryer; (6)replaced the back of the controls area on the dryer; (7) put the new timer knob on and plugged the dryer back into the wall. EASY - even for a 72 year old retired accountant.

Loud screeching dryer noise
This was a very easy job. It was like snapping Lego pieces together. I ended up taking more time because I took the time to clean the orher parts while it was open. Took about 30 minutes total. Please make sure you know where the electrical wires are located at the bottom of unit. If you take the whole front panel off some of the wires may come off. There is not much documentation on the wiring so be cafefiul. Take a pic if you can. I watched the videos on YouTube from this site before starting. Just want to add that I am not a mechanic of any type. This is an easy job.

Would Not Turn On
We ordered the part and I remember coming to this website and reading the reviews. So when my husband came home we pulled out the dryer and we unscrewed the back of the top plate. We then took the needle nose pliers totake the wire off which there are three of them just remember when changing the switch where the red wire goes instead of going uotop it goes on the bottom. After that we were done and I would say that it took about 15 minutes. When doing this make sure unplug the dryer before you do anything.

The cheap plastic inside the knob keeps cracking, causing the knobs not to grab the metal piece that turns the dryer on.
The knobs keep breaking. This is the 2nd set of knobs installed. The third set on the dryer total and it is less than 5 years old. Installation is very easy. Take off old knob and put new one on lining up as needed. If you are reading this before you purchase the knobs, you may want to go ahead and buy two b/c you are likely to have this issue again. Buying a second one now could save you money on shipping and save you time on waiting for the knob in the mail when it breaks again.

Would not start
Replaced the start switch and knob..first of all I unplugged the dryer (this is a must when replacing electrical components) then I took the two screws off the back of the dryer top cover and turned the start switch in a counter clockwise fashion. It popped off, then I unplugged the 4 wires and plugged into the new start switch. I then turned the switch onto the clips in the opposite fashion and it clicked into place. I then put the cover back on, replaced the two screws, pushed the knob onto the start switch, plugged the dryer back in and it started right up.

Squeaking
Drum slide slots had worn so bad that i needed to replace the whole thing. I had already taken it apart before to change drum slides and knew it was a matter of time before the whole bearing was going to need to be replaced.

Dryer Would Not Turn On
The knob would not turn on the dryer which was less than 2 years old. I took the knob off and notice that the inside was plastic and was cracked. I went online and was able to find the PartSelect website. I ordered on Sunday and the knobs were delivered on Tuesday. My dryer is working. I was very pleased with the service that I got from PartSelect.
