WDSR2120J5WW General Electric Washer - Instructions

Use a flat head screw drive to push the clip off the timer stem which holds the knob, which is behind the knob, pulled old knob off, place new knob on timer stem, used needle nose pliers to push new clip on timer stem to hold knob on

I used the piler to take off the old knob then install the new one.

Gently turned washer over onto its front. Removed bottom metal panel (3 or 4 screws on each side). Removed old belt. Installed new belt. NOTE: The new belt is a tight and perfect fit, therefore it will not want fit on to both pulleys/ rotating discs. I have found the best method is to start the belt on the disc that drives the belt. Then place as much of the belt over the disc that sits below the washing machine drum as is possible(the spinning part)and then turn the belt by hand and the belt should pop on to the disc. If the belt goes on easily you may have the wrong belt as the belt must be tight to achieve the traction necessary for the washing machine to spin. HOPE THIS HELPS!! A screwdriver may be handy in helping to pry on the belt. Good look.

I went on Utube and watched a video. Explains exactly what you have to do. A real skinny pair of electrical pliers helps to get the plastic pin out. The replacement knob comes with a new pin. This repair actually does take less than 15 minutes.

I removed the clip with needle nose pliers pulled the knob off,put the new knob on and replaced the clip.

remove top panel, replace the compression clip, then replace'd the top panel, w/pliers, remove'd then plastic clip from the timer knob, remove old knob, install new one, DONE! I've never had a place that had all parts in stock, and at my door with-in 2 days! UN-BELEIVABLE! THANKS

I removed the plastic pin, took the knob off, put the new one on, then replaced the plastic pin. EXTREMELY easy.

order part. replace

I watched the video you provided and I could't believe how simple it was. I'm 67 yrs old and I just followed the video instructions.

I watched the video on the knob and clip, ordered the new knob only to find out I needed a new timer as well. The little gears were striped off at a closer look. So I ordered a new timer. They were sent out right away, that was nice. We both parts now, the install took about ten minutes.

Removed and replaced knob and dial by hand. Very simple.

Ordering the new knob was very easy.

Was very easy to remove and replace. The instructional video let me know what to expect

Unit unplugged. Next day delivery, saved plastic clip and two screws from hose connect to washer , removed leaking hose ,replaced with new hose fully pushed into unit with plastic clip already in place on new hose. Tightened screws on plastic holding clip on new hose. Done complete job in 5 minutes.

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
