Fortunately, replacing it is a relatively quick and easy repair that you can do yourself. With the right tools you can complete this repair in no time. So let&#8217;s get started and bring back the light to your GE dryer!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Watch here: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4Atph2DZ26E\"><b>How To: GE Light Bulb Socket WE5M48<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find a replacement light bulb socket WE5M48 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/ge-light-socket-we5m48-ap4320041.html\"><b>here<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Have towels ready for any residual water in the system when removing parts.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear insulated work gloves to protect your hands from sharp metal parts, pinching hazards and debris.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When working with wires, avoid touching any exposed wires or terminals.
