GTDP280EH1WS General Electric Dryer - Instructions

This kept the interlock open and shut off the dryer when the door swung open The broken latch was popped out using a flat blade screwdriver and the replacement snapped into place by hand. Good as new!

1. Firmly grasp broken knob and pull it off.
2. Line up knob with post and push new knob on to post.
3. Quietly drink a beer and watch NFL mobile on your phone In the laundry room for a minimum of thirty minutes. ( For best results and to keep you from walking into the kitchen, stash a beer in the laundry room before you begin.)
4. Before leaving laundry room, do fifteen jumping jacks and twenty push ups-- enough to get your face red. Sprinkle some dryer lent in your hair. Crush can and throw it behind the dryer, no one ever looks there.
5. Immediately find your wife upon leaving the laundry room, and explain to her that the dryer is now fixed, you are exhausted, and need to take a nap.

Originally I thought that the Start switch was the issue, and ordered one. After taking the machine apart and running some tests, the issue was clearly not this switch, but a different switch that cuts power when the belt tension is no longer being applied to the idler pulley spring. I fixed this by bypassing this switch, which in my opinion, is error prone and serves no purpose. The switch can be accessed by removing the control panel, then top cover, then front cover, then drum. The bogus switch is screwed to the bottom left, near the motor. The idler pulley spring rests against it. Just disconnect the switch wires, then clip, strip and crimp then together to bypass the switch, and voila! Now if the belt breaks or comes off the pulley, the motor will continue to run, but you wont hear the wet clothes flopping around, so that will be the indication that you have a belt problem. Hope that helps!

Very easy! Removed old parts, and installed new parts in reverse order. Dryer was running, and sounded like a new appliance in 35 minutes!

Received the dryer knob, aligned the part and it went on with no tools, no labor.

Removed that to screws for that top first and door shake top little to that front and I took two screws on that top each side and removed that front and lint trap and install the new

remove the broken one and replace it with the new one

stuck it back in the holes just like the original handle. Had to do a little adjustment because I put screwdriver in them too many times to open the door after the original handle feel off, so the fit was loose. Fixed with tape.

Son found out where the bulb was by using YouTube. I googled lamp for model number and your website came up. I ordered the part, it arrived promptly, and my son installed it.
