Dryer wouldn't start found timer to be bad

Ordered new timer and switch and two broken knobs. Great prices, great GE parts, great fast service. Replaced timer, switch and broken knobs in about ten minutes, dryer now works like new. Will definitely use Appliance Parts Pros the next time I need appliance parts.
