How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP3425457 / WH01X10106 Knob Clip

Unplugged dryer. Removed 6 screws holding back on dryer. removed wires one at a time from old timer switch then place each wire on new switch in corresponding location (same letter). removed timer switch from dryer base by twisting counter clockwise. Put new wired switch in dyer base twisting clockwise. replaced 6 screws holding back plate on. re-plugged power. Tested. entire process took less than 5 minutes 

Replaced timer and knob. 

It was a very easy fix - just remove the old one and replace with the new one (pull off, push on). I did not need the insert as the shaft on this dryer was the perfect size for the knob itself. 

Ordered new knob and also knob insert which gets inserted inside of knob. The clip is like a spring clip which locks knob onto timer shaft. Just line knob "D" shaped opening to the flat on the timer shaft and push onto timer shaft. There was no reason to order the knob insert since one came already inserted in the new timer knob. 

Ordered replacement. 

Watched video on how to repair, ordered new timer and replaced timer. Would have taken less time if the video had said to spray the old connectors with WD40 to make them much easier to come off. Was having difficulty trying to get connectors off until I thought to spray them with WD40. They came off easily after spraying. 

I watched your fabulous video and spoke to a very empowering customer service person. It was so easy. My significant other wanted to buy a new dryer. Instead I fixed it for under $100. 

Installed insert into knob, then to the timer shaft. It was so easy even a caveman could do it!! 

I love the videos! They are extremely helpful! I've used this site in the past and had great experiences every time. 

No, knob part and clip delivered promptly ! so great
