Dryer quit working, so I got to googling and came across this video, this is exactly what was wrong, so thankful for your video! Like many others you just saved us hundreds of dollars! My husband used Google lense on his phone to take a picture of the serial number, immediately a link from Amazon popped up for a replacement knob with the reinforced metal $8 will be here in two days. Thanks again! Instead of pliers my husband popped the timer on/off knob off and placed it on the cycle selection, it fit perfectly, we will carefully use the timer knob as a replacement until we receive the new one in the mail. I can't express how grateful I am for this concise video

My dryer took a dump thirty minutes ago. On a hunch, I went to You Tube with the GE Model number and caught your video. I took my timer knob off and saw the crack. Just ordered a new one on line. It should be here in a week. For the load that I had in the dryer, my channel locks worked fine to turn the dial stem. I had visions of several hundred dollars that I didn't have being spent. Did NOT turn out that way at all. THANK YOU!

I have a slightly different model. Changed out the timer, worked for a minute, then nothing. Watched your video and sure enough it was the dial (note: the timer had gone out, I used plyers to move the knob, but just spun). All in all had 2 issues. Will order a new dial, but in the mean-time I took the dial off the wrinkle free and put in place of the timer dial. Worked like a charm. Thank you.

*EXCELLENT VIDEO* indeed!!! My wife sent me this link after we couldn't get our dryer starting today. I'm glad she did because it potentially saved us hundreds on a repairman housecall. Until we get a replacement knob mailed in I guess I'll have to use pliers and be very careful not to strip the metal rod that goes into the dial knob.
