How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP5805161 / WE01X20376 Timer Knob

I ordered a replacement Timer and a new Timer Knob. I place my order late on Thursday night and the new parts were delivered on Saturday afternoon. Installation was easy. 

I had an appliance repairman come out and he told me for him to replace the timer, knob, and fuse would cost $340 for parts and labor. Plus I already paid him a service charge fee. I decided to fix it myself. Appliance Parts Pros had all the parts I needed and the website showed a video on how to replace the timer. I got the parts for $86. The parts came the same week and it took me 20 minutes to do everything....AWESOME!!!GE 

I am very thankful for your website. Elizabeth guided me trhough the process of purchasing the correct replacement knob. It arrived in two days. All I had to do was remove the stripped knob and replace it with the new one. My dryer was back in business. What a tremendous savings! No service call or charge! I am so grateful. Thank you!

Replaced timer and knob. The knew knob comes with a metal reinforcing ring around the shaft so it should hold up longer than the original one. 

My sister-in-law somehow broke my timer knob to my dryer. We ordered a replacement; however, the wrong one was sent and caused the timer knob to not work properly, eventually causing the timer shaft (where the knob connects) to start to strip. I eventually had to start using pliers to turn the timer shaft to be able to use the dryer, which caused it to strip, even more, resulting in needing to buy a new timer and the proper knob. The replacement was very easy, and that’s coming from a guy who’s never worked on a dryer before. The video on this site is very helpful when replacing the timer, and the only thing you need to make sure you do is take a picture of how the wires are connected, before taking them apart. Took me 10-15 minutes to do it all, as I was taking my time, with it being my first time. As far as taking the wires off of the timer, they recommend using a flat head screwdriver. I think pliers would be a lot easier, as you could just grab the base of the connection, and pull straight up. 

Easy peasy. New switch and dial fit perfectly. I had replaced it before with a knockoff and it only lasted 3 months. Great quality and exact fit. Took 10 minutes. Always unplug the dryer to perform any repairs. Also this was stated on packaging. Top notch company. 

Ordered part online and put it on and we had a working dryer. 

I watch a repair video. Order the timer and a new knob from your company. These parts came quickly. Three days, just as the company said they would. The repair was simple. The parts work great. Just a note, I am a 67 year old women. So, anyone can do it. Thanks 

Ordered the part and it came the next day. Was all ready to go, was back doing laundry less than 24 hours after having figured out the issue. Uncomfortable repair to make but it isn't that difficult. 

Ordered the exact replacement part from.AppliancePartsPros and problem solved! Perfect!
