    5.0 out of 5 stars Unplug the dryer before installing and saving money on your repair!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    The dryer is a trooper, but eventually the "Start Knob" broke off and we started to use a pair of pliers. After years of that, we finally twisted the stem right off the switch.

    Rather than replace the entire dryer over a single momentary switch, I opened the panel to find a part number for lookup. Easy Fix!

    However! I was surprised to find that GE had simply run 240 Volts Mains power directly through the control panel, without any step down. So.... Make sure you unplug that dryer before opening the panel! Otherwise, that appliance might dry more than your clothes.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 20 year old GE dryer
    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I have a 20 year old GE dryer. 4 years ago I broke the knob that turns on the dryer, so I'd been using pliers ever since. Well, the other day the shift broke, to my dismay. So, I contacted GE to find out if I could replace the part. They gave me the part number, I ordered on Amazon and it shipped quickly to my door. I had some trouble getting the back panel off, but once I did, replacement was easy! For a cheap, quick fix, this is extending the life of my workhorse of a dryer, and I couldn't be happier. GE just won some brand loyalty from this happy customer!
