Steven R Malibu , CA July 01, 2019 Appliance: General Electric Electric Dryer DBXR463EG6WW The switch was not adhering to the back-splash because the plastic clips that hold it in place were cracked Slide dryer out-away from the wall. Turn it so you can access the back panel. Unplug the dryer..unscrewed the 3 screws on the upper back panel that holds the backsplash in place. Tilted the backsplash forward and released all three switches from the back panel by lifting up (small flathead screwdriver needed), the clip that "locks" the switches in place then carefully turning the switches counterclockwise to release from the backsplash panel. Slid the backsplash panel to the right and removed it. Replaced the new backsplash panel by inserting the tabs and sliding it to the left to "lock" it in place. Installed the 3 switches by carefully inserting them and turning counterclockwise until hearing the "click" which indicated that the switch tab has locked the switch in place. pull back the backsplash to line up the screw holes with the panel on the back of the dryer. Screw in the 3 screws to reattach the backsplash to the back panel of the dryer. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
William D Houston (Harris) , TX June 15, 2020 Appliance: Model GE DRYER (ELECTRIC) The plastic tabs that hold the switches to the back of the dryer backsplash were broke. The cycle and start switches would fall back and not operate properly. Ordered a new backsplash and one new start control knob. The repair is straight forward, disconnect power, unscrew three Phillips screws that secure backsplash, remove switches from backsplash by pushing (any remaining tabs) and twisting counter clockwise. Note that the new control knobs are of better design and have a metal ring around the plastic that fits over the switch shaft. This is where they fail by splitting and not turning the switch correctly. The new band however is just slightly larger than the factory hole in the backsplash for the switch. This required enlarging the hole slightly with a 1/2 inch drill bit. It is plastic a round file would work. Install the switches in the back splash, and secure with three screws, plug in and you are back in business. Read More...
