WCSR4170G1WW General Electric Washer - Instructions

replaced

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!!

I just did a google search and found a video that shows to use a zip tie to hold the belt to the big pulley and simply turn the drum and the belt goes right on. Then cut the zip tie off and you are ready to go. Took all of 3 minutes to change the belt from start to finish.

Watched the how to video and did as instructed, super simple repair,

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...

After ordering the part on a Friday afternoon, I was amazed to have it delivered before 2PM the next day. The part was the timer knob and it was a perfect fit. It took less than 15 minutes to replace the faulty knob with the brand new one. Amazing!!!

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!

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.

I watched the video and did the same thing that was shown. It was a very easy process!
