The dial on the timer would no longer engage (knob would just spin)
I followed the Youtube video created by PartSelect and it was SUPER easy.
Removed dial from front panel
I unscrewed the back panel, which released the knob panel on the front and tipped that forward to access the timer device.
Released the locking tab and spun the entire timer counter clockwise until it released. Pulled each connecting wire off and immediately replaced it on the new timer so I didn't mix up the order.
Once wires were attached, I replaced timer turning clockwise until it locked in place.
Re-positioned front panel and replaced back panel installing screws.
Replaced dial and dryer was ready to go!

Dryer timer wasn’t working with auto dry or time dry
When I ordered it in the email receipt were directions- just click installation instructions- I also looked at u tube video by just typing in GE Dryer timer repair. It took longer to clean the floor where the dryer sat for years since we never move it. Cleaning time is included in the 15 minutes— You will feel great since just saved a ton of money. So glad I found you for future issues with appliance repair. There are U Tube videos to fix everything. Robert Maheu Huntington Beach

My last phase of repairs of minor items.
if your unit has over 6,000 hours of operations, one needs to remove the front panel and inspect the sliders that the drum rides on. The video were very helpful to replace the sliders. Unfortunately, my dryer had over 10,000 hours of operations over a 30 years period, hence a major repair costing over $200.00 dollars. The drum sliders were gone, hence the drum eat through the plastic guides. More so, the drum started to eat away the front panel. If the dryer is eating your closes and making a noise, one is looking at a $200.00 repair job. Hence check the sliders early will save one $$$$.

Dryer would shut off on heat dry after a couple of minutes. I could feel the heat working. It would only continue to run on fluff/no heat
Pulled the drum an found spade clip burned on wire. Hi limit Thermostat crumbled/ broke while pulling spade clip so I trimmed back the wire, cleaned the spade clip and soldered the wire back on. Isolated the other thermostats in the system and tested for resistance. Reassembled dryer.
