WHDSR316G0WW General Electric Washer - Instructions

I went to you Tube video found my wash machine and how to remove the knob. I found the teeth on the timer to be warn down so I purchased a new knob. The plate that the timer attached to was broken. I made a metal part and glued it on with Grilia glue. This was a design defect by GE. The new timer fit very well and the wash machine worked like a new one.

removed knobs and popped new knobs on. on the washer, removed the old clip from behind the knob, removed old knob, put on new knob with new clip. very easy. the videos were soooooo very helpful, thanks so much...

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

opened the front control panel, took out bad, vale, replaced it with new valve, closed panel.

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!

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.

Pulled clip off and installed new knob

1. Turned off water at wall and removed hoses from back of washer. 2.Removed three screws and laid dash panel forward onto towel. 3. Used pliers to slip hose clamp off of valve connector. 4. Disconnected two electrical connectors. 5. Removed two screws mounting inlet valve to washer and removed valve. 6. Reinstalled in reverse order. My only problem was a vibrating noise when hot water was selected. I found that the fit of the dash panel to the back of washer was torqued. I removed the panel mounting screws, made a better fit and added a dot of rubber insulation between the sheet metal parts where the screws attached. Success!!

Just popped new knob on shaft , took about 1 min.

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.

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.

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.

I pulled off the old knob. The retaining clip was left on the shaft and had to be pulled off separately. That was easy. Then the new knob just pressed back on the shaft as easy as could be. And luckily, I chose the exact replacement knob from the pictures available, without knowing the model number of my GE clothes dryer.
