DHDSR46EE1WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

I unscrewed the front and top of the dryer. Removing the original front drum bearing was fairly easy, and just needed a gentle pull. The drum bearing slide was easily inserted in to the front drum bearing. Then the front drum bearing just needed to be inserted where the old one was removed. I did need some help from my husband to lift the dryer drum in order to close the dryer back up, but other than that, it was very simple.

The knob had cracked on the back side. All you had to do is pull off the knob and slide the new one on. Pretty foolproof.

Before opening the parts I removed the lid By removing screws in door opening. Then removed Front panel by removing the two screws inside frame. Inspection showed upper bearing and wore excessive with two of the bearing slides missing. Found part select site got the part numbers needed and ordered them. rec'vd next day and using info gained from U Tube video on rplacing the parts job was a snap. NOTE: will always look up parts on part select from now on as definetly saved money by repairing my self

Studied the symptoms online. Disassembled the unit and found the drum slides worn out. Ordered them and a new belt. Installation videos on Parts select web site were helpful. The dryer runs quiet now. I need a front bearing unit, but the slides are working ok for right now.

To get to where the drum slides go you have to first remove the dryer top. Then you have to remove the two screws that hold the dryer front/door. Found inside the dryer about an inch down on both sides. Be careful because it will fall off. Lower carefully as there is an electric hook-up on the bottom of the door. On the door top are the brackets that the slides slip into. My dryer has 4 slides. Sold individually for some reason. You are done except for re-assembly. Slip dryer drum back on door, press the front until you hear it click back together. Put screws back in and top back on. You are done and no more screeching!

This was a very easy job. It was like snapping Lego pieces together. I ended up taking more time because I took the time to clean the orher parts while it was open. Took about 30 minutes total. Please make sure you know where the electrical wires are located at the bottom of unit. If you take the whole front panel off some of the wires may come off. There is not much documentation on the wiring so be cafefiul. Take a pic if you can. I watched the videos on YouTube from this site before starting. Just want to add that I am not a mechanic of any type. This is an easy job.

We ordered the part and I remember coming to this website and reading the reviews. So when my husband came home we pulled out the dryer and we unscrewed the back of the top plate. We then took the needle nose pliers totake the wire off which there are three of them just remember when changing the switch where the red wire goes instead of going uotop it goes on the bottom. After that we were done and I would say that it took about 15 minutes. When doing this make sure unplug the dryer before you do anything.

Removed broken starter switch, replace with new one. Dryer worked like a champ. Fast and east R&R.

Found replacement part easily on website using model and serial number.Part arrived in one day, fit perfectly without any tools and dryer is functioning like new. Easy ordering process with excellent customer service.

Replaced the start switch and knob..first of all I unplugged the dryer (this is a must when replacing electrical components) then I took the two screws off the back of the dryer top cover and turned the start switch in a counter clockwise fashion. It popped off, then I unplugged the 4 wires and plugged into the new start switch. I then turned the switch onto the clips in the opposite fashion and it clicked into place. I then put the cover back on, replaced the two screws, pushed the knob onto the start switch, plugged the dryer back in and it started right up.

unpluged dryer opened door took out 2 screws holding the top lid on took out 2 screws that hold the front on replaced parts and put back together. Dryer sounds brand new.

With your drawings, we identified the part and my wife installed it by herself about 3 days after we ordered it. Great Service! Thanks

its very easy!! just pull or pry out the old handle clean surface snap in the new one! its that easy!! PS don't get to rough with the installation!!

Drum slide slots had worn so bad that i needed to replace the whole thing. I had already taken it apart before to change drum slides and knew it was a matter of time before the whole bearing was going to need to be replaced.

removed what was left of old door handle and replaced it with new handle. Snapped right in without any trouble, 30 seconds max.
