Tim L Ottawa , IL August 13, 2015 Appliance: General Electric General Electric GTDP490GD0WS Knobs are weak keep breaking because the timer switch has a lot of tention to turn I would remove the knobs from the other switches to replace the timer one when it would break until all the knobs were broken. My wife kept blaming me for being a brute but i swear i was gentle when turning the knob. i ordered all new ones and guess what...the new knobs are reinforced with a metal ring to keep the plastic from splitting. guess it wasn't shear brute strength after all and just a inferior part..

Colleen Z Union , NJ August 12, 2016 Ge dryer timer knob broke Wow, wow, wow!!! I ordered the part from here and the very next day it was on my doorstep!! Amazing work, Appliance Parts Pros! I was so worried about doing my laundry because without the knob my husband attached a make shift wrench to the metal knob, in order for me to keep using it, while awaiting the part. The wrench was turning the lever so that I could dry the clothes, but it was also stripping the plastic piece. Just as I figured that I would have to hold off on the laundry, the piece arrived! 24 hours from order to delivery, on the lowest shipping price. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Clara R La Coste , TX September 01, 2016 Appliance: Model GTDP490ED7WS Control knob assembly broke after 2 year of using on a new general electric dryer I hope these last longer than one year. This could be a costly repair job. It is easy to install. My husband just push them on - that was that. I was real disappointed that the control knob assemblies do not last more than 2 years My old Magtag dryer the knobs never broken until it I retired it for a new dryer. My old dryer was having other problems. It was 10 years old. Read More... 4 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
