GHDSR209H3WW General Electric Washer - Instructions

Pulled clip off and installed new knob

Couldn't get the agitator off by pulling up, then thought about it and got 2 carpenter claw hammers, inserted one on each side and puled up evenly on both and off she came. Sprayed the slots with WD Forty and popped the new on. THANKS saved us a lot of money!!!

WATCH THE REPAIR VIDEO! I followed the easy instructions and replaced the water level pressure switch in no time. It was very easy to do!

Basically the dryer would not turn on, after finding your site putting in the model number and description of my problem, I was able to trouble shoot and pretty fast I was able to determine the knob which controls the heat setting and time was cracked. I ordered the part and received it in a couple of days removed the old cracked knob and installed the new one no actual tools needed.

Once the part came in, I noticed that the new one sent to me was missing a circular piece (has arrow) attached to the knob (has line that lines up with arrow. No problem - I snapped the circular part from the old one and super glued it to the new knob and slid it on the post. So easy, even I did it.

Watched your video which showed how to replace it and it only took a minute or two. Replacement part cost less than the shipping cost but well worth it as it arrived the next day!

I watched your awesome video that showed me exactly what I needed and how to fix it. Fix took about 2 minutes maybe. Part was easy to locate on your website.

My washing machine began smoking one day while on spin cycle. I freaked out and turned every breaker off on the electric panel since I, apparently, forgot how to read during this episode. Once the smoke cleared and my brain power returned I removed the front panel of the machine. After a quick look I decided I saw nothing wrong that I could fix. 24 hours later my brain had returned to normal functioning capacity so I decided to turn the power back on to the washer and see what happened. It was then that I noticed the smoke coming from a black cylinder on the front of the washer. I googled my washer and the VERY helpful diagrams from partselect.com came up showing me this was the capacitor. Since as mentioned previously my brain was now functional again I was able to determine this would be an easy fix, ordered the part, got it 24 hours later (!!!!!) with no special shipping, and installed it in 5 minutes. I feel smart today! Thanks Partselect.com!

the repair was easy. Your online video was the best idea. It made us feel at ease about doing it ourselves, it was step by step. thanks

After the GE Washer went dead last week Tuesday while my spouse was doing laundry, I I took it to the back yard just to examine the inside from beneath before going to find a new one that evening.
While on its back I notice that the motor still worked but it was very weak. Taking the belt off it went a little faster but weak. Then I remembered that there was supposed to be an electrical part that sends or allows current to go to the motor, but didn't know the name nor what it should look like.
I started my search and found this cylindrical electric part that had a scar on the outside and a hardened mass protruding from the inside. Since the wires to and from the part was the same color, I marked one terminal, then took pictures of the position and wiring of the part I identified as the problem, then took it out of the machine.
At this point, I went to the car, sat inside, started the car, and was about to leave to find a washing machine, then I thought of the Internet. I went on the Internet, found a store that sells GE washing machines parts, identified the part to be the capacitor. I ordered the part late that evening, received it Thursday afternoon, installed and reassembled the machine immediately, and today is the eight day since the fix and as I am writing, Thursday, August 15, 2013, the machine is doing my laundry. The diagrams made it very easy to identify the name of the part, and since I am mechanically inclined, getting the old part out and installing the new part was very easy. ~~ Vasco

replaced

I used needle-nose pliers to pry out the little c-clamp that held on the timer knob, then easily pulled off the knob. I used the vacuum cleaner to clear the broken plastic teeth from area surrounding the stem. Then I simply pushed on the new knob. Whole job took about 5 minutes.

Remove the clip holding the knob and removed the knob. Removed the compression ring and replaced with a new ring. I used the instructions in the video that came with the verification of the order.

recieved part in 3 days put knob in and was ready to go, good as new thanks

I replaced the water level pressure switch but that did not fix the problem. I tried to replace the pressure tube with some rubber tubing from the hardware store but that did not fix the problem. I replaced the tubing with the correct pressure tubing for PartSelect and now it seems to be working fine. I think the old tubing had a small leak in it I could not detect and the hardware tubing was not exactly the same as the manufacturer part. Anyway it was still a lot cheaper than a new washer. Thanks for the parts and the videos, you made it a do it yourself job. John
