How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP3425457 / WH01X10106 Knob Clip

My husband and I tried to run the dryer, but nothing happened. We both noticed that there was no noise when we turned the knob, which didn't seem right. He pulled the knob off, and we noticed a small crack in it. We also noticed that a small metal piece was loose inside, and appeared to be broken. I looked for parts, and found the d-shaped metal insert and the knob. We bought both pieces, received them in only 2 days, and fixed the dryer. It works perfectly now, and we didn't have to pay for a repair. We couldn't be happier! 

We ordered the new rotary switch and to make sure the knob fit, we ordered the new knob, too. Had to unglue one of the connectors so that took the most time. Then drilled a few holes in plastic projections to hold the new rotary switch-used some wire to hold the switch arm in place and then used nylon ties across the back of the switch. Will always check you for parts first! This should have taken no more than a half hour to take the back off, replace and plus connectors to new switch and secure switch and replace back but melting the super glue took over an hour with nail polish remover and then Goof Off. but it would have been $95 for the appliance company to come out and give an estimate even though I knew what was wrong! Quite a charge if they had to unglue one of the connectors! 

Ordered the appropriate parts and completed the task in approximately 15 mins 

I searched for the part online and found AppliancePartsPros.com. The video on how to fix made me believe I could fix it myself. I ordered my parts, perfect fit with the help of your compatibility search option. Watched the video a couple of times while replacing and was done in a couple of minutes! The video was very helpful as I had forgotten which wire should be attached to which number; the video solved that for me. Thanks! 

All this took was unplugging the dryer from the outlet (just in case), removing the back panel at the top of the dryer (6 screws Phillips Drive) and 1 screw on the timer itself (6 point Star Drive). I twisted the old Timer Counter Clock-wise and out to remove it completely. To make sure that I did not mix up the wires, I removed 1 wire at a time (all but 1 wire was easily removed with my fingers, the last wire I used some needle nose pliers to get a better grip) and connected them to the new timer. Inserted the new timer Clock-wise, attached the screw and tested the dryer to make sure everything worked. Then I put the back panel back on. The timer came with the metal knob insert already attached (now I have an extra just in case) so I slide the timer knob on. Works perfectly again. I was also very pleased with the speedy shipping. I ordered the parts on a Friday and they arrived on Saturday. I wasn't expecting them until Monday. 

Ordered new assembly, installed in minutes! 

I found the part on APP and ordered it... swapped out the switch and my dryer is now working as it should. Happy Wife, thanks for the quick delivery and having the exact part I needed. Much appreciated! 

I ordered all the parts for a good price and it took me less than five minutes to fix it and my dryer was up and running properly again 

Purchased a new rotary start switch, rotary knob and knob insert. Watched the short video. Replaced the switch and knob. Didn't need the knob insert because the rotary knob came with one. Fixed the problem. Wife happy. 

I ordered the parts and received them in a few days. I took the upper back off the dryer, then removed the timer and replaced it with the new one. Replaced the dryer back and put on the new knob. The dryer works fine.
