Knob on washing machine had broken teeth and would not turn the timer.
Used needle nosed pliers to pull plastic clip off the back of the old knob. Pulled broken knob off. Put on new knob over the metal post. Put on the plastic clip back on the back of the knob to hold it in place.

The timer knob no longer engaged and moved the stem
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.

One of the paddles broke from washing something that wedge in between one of the paddles and side of tub. Which broke the blade. Order the the part from Parts Select. Watched the Video how to change the Agitator. It was as easy as they said. Repaired it myself for least than $50.00.
Pull the Agitator out by hand no tools where needed. Took Fabric Softer dispenser off put it on new Agitator. Pushed the new Agitator on. Repair done. Sure am happy I did it myself. Service charge from repair company would have been a lot more then $50.00.

timer and control knob
This repair is super easy. Take out the 6 phillips screws on the back of the control panel. Disconnect the timer wires and plug into the new timer--One wire at a time to make sure they fit into the same slots. Reinstall the timer and knob and back of the dryer and you are done. No need for a technican here. Save some $.

Timer knob was stripped and would not advance the cycle either manually or automatically.
Pull the knob out on the machine, remove the plastic clip from behind the knob and take the knob off. Install the new clip halfway onto the new knob, put the new knob in place and set the clip all the way in. 5 minutes.

Washer pump would not turn
DISCONNECT POWER----1.- No pump sound when energized but I know it energized as the coil became a magnet. 2.- You need a drain pan to catch the water from the lower tub when the drain hose is disconnected from the pump. 3.- Water pump or channel lock pliers needed to remove the spring clamps on inlet and outlet from pump. 4.- Remove the 2 hold down bolts and the plug in power connection and the pump comes out very easily. 5.- On my pump I found a plastic tie wrap lodged in the pump impeller vanes-- this caused the pump either not to work at all or cause a cavitation effect caused the water in the tub not to drain completely. 6.- Since I had already purchased the new pump I installed the new pump and cleaned the old one to keep as a spare-- probably never going to need it though.7.- On the large diameter drain hose ( pump inlet ) I decided to use a auto hose clamp instead of the original spring clamp because the area to work on this pump is very cramped and getting the original spring clamp back on was very difficult. The hose clamp made it very easy and the seal was just fine. 8.- The new pump functions perfectly- PARTS SELECT delivered a quality OEM product and I am extremely satisfied with their normal delivery which was 2 days because the warehouse was only 150 miles from me.

Installation of fabric softener dispenser
My washer didn't come with a fabric softener dispenser. I found one on your website and purchased (the part arrived in two days). I popped the top off the agitator, lined up the notches on the fabric softener dispenser with the inside notches on the agitator and pressed down. Voila! Less than 5 minutes, no tools needed.

freight train sound during spin cycle
I searched the internet for the problem resolution & purchased $40 of the parts before I disassembled the machine. This was to minimize the downtime. Not one of the internet sites recommended changing the shaft & mode shifter assy so all the parts I ordered were not needed. Once I determined the correct part I had the reorder & pay expediting fees to deliver next day.
After watching the YouTube video on how to disassemble the GE Profile washing machine the repair was relatively simple.

noise when in wash cycle
Inside the appliance is an instruction sheet that describes replacing the part and followed it mostly. To improve your instructions, pictures with the instructions are much more effective and easier to understand.
