Jeffery B Donalsonville , GA September 04, 2015 The timer switch came detached from the bracket and the dial slot slipped out of the shaft until i saw the repair video i did not know about the clip that locks the dial to the shaft I removed the dial knob and plate as instructed by the video, removed the front panel of the washer to access the switch. I found the plastic molded bracket that the timer rests on to be broken and the tab on the timer where it is attached by a screw to be broken. I ordered a replacement switch, dial and knob. When it arrived I replaced the parts as instructed, but I had to use super glue to hold the new switch in place due to the support tab on the washer panel being broken off. After letting the glue cure I reattached the panel and everything worked great.

Carl O Canton , NC May 03, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Washer WLSR2000G3WW The control knob assembly would no longer engage the timer to set the wash cycle I ordered the timer dial, the control knob assembly and the timer knob clip. I only needed to replace the control knob assembly to fix the machine. All the engagement teeth were broken off the original control knob and that is what the problem was. The repair (remove and replace the control knob assembly) was very simple and took only a few minutes. The video was helpful to see what was required to remove the timer knob clip.
