WDSR2080G2WW General Electric Washer - Instructions

Unplug appliance. Use needle nosed pliers to remove clip from behind the knob. Remove knob and replace with new knob. Push in to install the new knob until you hear the "click." There you have it. Easy. Another task completed from the "Honey-Do" list.

worked liked a charm thankyou

I took the pliers pulled the plastic clip off the back of the knob and pulled the knob off the dial lifted the dial off. I pushed the new dial on then pushed the new knob on and I was done. The hardest thing was to open the plastic bags the parts came in. The next time I will use a knife or something else to open the bags

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!

I ordered both control knob ($6.46) and timer knob ($22.61).I didn't need/use the timer knob, so I returned it. I switched out the control knob by removing plastic pin and replaced w/ new control knob & pin. My 3-yr old grandson sat on the dryer and held the flashlight. I certainly saved mucho by not calling "repair-man"..Total repair was $6.46 + S & H.Now, if we can just keep this baby (family of 6)going til it's time to downsize.

needle nose pliers to pull out old tab behind old knob. simply pop new knob on when you remove old. video gave me self confidence to do it myself.

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 removed the control panel and front panel of the machine exposing the water level pressure switch and hose. There was a clog in the hose that once cleaned out (with a shish kabab skewer)the problem was solved I didn't even need the switch which I returned and got a full refund no problem.

Followed the I minute video instruction. Easily removed old knob and simply slipped on new knob -- all in 5 minutes. And It worked -- and saved me around $70 for a service call that would have required me to be home for two visits. The part was only $10, including shipping!!

Followed the video and installed it the way they showed.

Followed the directions on the video and it was a simple repair.

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
