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!

Unplugged the unit. Removed water hoses. Removed 4 "star" screws to open control unit cover. Unscrewed assembly with philips screw driver. Unpluged electric plugs. Used pliers to remove internal hose. Removed bad unit which was plugged with hard water corrison. Reverse steps to reinstall. It worked great. Loved the online ordering and shipping direct to my home.

Ordered new knob,came two days later.Really inpressed with their Service.Installed new knob within seconds.Took longer to open the plastic it was in.If you need parts,I would suggest ordering them thru PartSelect.com.

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

Tested. EVERYTHING WORKING SO FAR!!!

With the instructions found online, this was a quick easy repair. I used youtube to have video to show the method. Used rope to pull up agitator, used wrench to loosen bolt and then put back together. Part was delivered really fast, I recommend Partselect.com for the parts you need!

Dryer blew out of pickup, rolled down highway like a basketball, down an 8 foot grader ditch. Rolled it out of ditch, found two knobs not the third. Put side back on dryer, did some cosmetic work and it seems to work fine. One tough little machine. Slid handle on.

Tried using 5 minute epoxy to glue gear portion back to knob portion first. That didn't work so I ordered a new one. Piece of cake to install!! Not even 1 minute....

As directed by the book.

pulled the clip 1/2 way out inserted knob and it snapped into place.

Installation went okay but still only get cold water fill

Viewed the hot/cold valve. I saw that the cold water solinoid was burned. Ordered new valve and replace old valve. On my washer 4 screws held the switch panel, easy to remove and gave me plenty of room to veiw and do the repair.
