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
This was so helpful! I didn’t even notice that my dryer wasn’t clicking while I was turning the knob until I watched this video. This was the problem. I turned the dial using pliers and it worked.
Praise the Lord! That was the exact problem we had. Thank You so very much for saving us so much time and not having to taking apart our dryer! Hundredfold blessings on you!
Let me add our thanks to all those that you have helped! You saved us not only time and money, but so much FRUSTRATION! Thank you, thank you from Huntsville, AL!
It absolutely worked! I didn’t have a replacement at the time, it was like midnight drying my fiancés clothes for work the next morning. So I just manually turned it with pliers and it immediately fixed it. Will be purchasing a replacement tomorrow. Thank you!!
People panic for lack of knowledge, knowledge is power. YT is great, thank you. I have repaired my vehicles and appliance, ect.... and saved thousands and gave myself some new hobbies.
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!
You saved me at least $100 on a service call, watched your video, pulled the knob, sure enough, cracked.. ordered a new knob from Amazon, arrived in two days, plugged the new knob in and the dryer worked again.👍👍👍
Thank you from Maryland! I had seen a video on another channel and had thought I was going to have to take our dryer apart. Came across you video and saw the issue was much simpler. Thank you for saving me time, anguish, and money! Fixed in seconds for less than $16!
*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.
This was an easy fix I would have overlooked. My GE gas dryer, model DRSR495GGWW, made in 2008, looks different with 4 knobs and a push button start, but this knob was the problem. Thank you very much.
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.
Sir you save me hundreds of dollars I was stressing about buying a dryer couldn’t find affordable one could not afford one either. Thank you so much for your help. May God bless you
Thank you so much!!! Our apartment is having issues getting parts and it would be a MONTH using a laundry mat!! We zip tied our crack today and it’s working!! Our Amazon replacement knob comes in 2 days!!! WE WOULDNT HAVE KNOWN THIS WITHOUT YOUR VIDEO!! 😄😄😄
2 minutes in, I stop the video and say "no way thats the problem." I look, no reinforcement ring, it does appear cracked. Moved the timer stem with a small vise grip into position, press the start button AND THE DRYER TURNS ON! New knob ordered. Hope the rest of my day goes this well. Thank you sir!
I also want to say thank you. Same exact dryer. Just went into spider filled basement to check breaker, then almost threw it outside for the bear. Looked up this video and saved me from having a mental stroke. Your a good man!
THANK YOU FOR THIS! My dryer has been stopping radomly for months....figured it was on it's last legs. Finally quit working the other day. Called an appliance repair person - booked for days. I was going to start shopping for a new dryer....UGH! Then I figured I would check Google...just in case. Am I glad I did!!! This is exactly what the issue was! A $20 part and I am back in business! Again THANK YOU!
I had the same issue. I put super glue in the crack on both side, used a neddle nose plier to hold it tight and let it dry for 5 minutes. The crack is fixed, put the knob back,now it's working fine! Good temporary solution. Will order the knob now, but my wife can still wash her clothes, doesn't have to wait for the part!! Thank you very much for the video.
I got to thank you for your video. I've seen over a dozen trying to fix my dryer and now it's fixed today! You and many others saved me from having to purchase a new dryer! TY!
@@getitdonehomerepair It turned out to be the timer unit and the plastic knob. Fixed they unit and saved mad money due to you and many other videos. TY !!!
I have the same dryer, what I don’t understand is the temperature control. Do you need to set a temperature? because the different cycles apparently use different temperatures also.
Thank you Thank you Thank you. I have a GE dryer. All of a sudden just wouldn't work. Figured I watch a few videos on what the issue could be. Yours was one of the first I seen. Checked the knob and of course it was cracked. Saved me time/money on getting it maintenance/new machine.
OH MY GOD , MAY U BE BLESSED! CANT BELIEVE IT YOU SAVED ME from a BROUHAHA from my father that really suck at repairs ...while being quit depleasant while repairing ! 😂I ve seen a dozen of videos and ITS YOURS THAT FIXED MY ISSUE. Wow many thks
You are genious. Same problem I faced the dial was not turning from 0 minutes. Inspected the knob had a crack. Tried another knob and moved and it worked. 🙂
Those darn plastic knobs! You really nailed it...and the replacement I ordered does indeed feature a metal reinforcement ring. Many thanks for your insight and expertise.
Wow! I looked at another video first and was trying that when I deadended on their idea. Then I found this one, took off the dial and manually rotated the pin toward a time setting and hit start. Bingo! Thanks for sharing this super simple tip!
@@getitdonehomerepair I ordered a new timer dial but also saved the old one and filled epoxy in both sides where the hair line cracks were and clamped the cracks together. Now I'm have two timer dials that work.
Thank you so much for this. I was so worried we were going to have to spend hundreds to have our dryer fixed or buy a new one. I’m so glad I came across this video!
Thank you! I thought I needed a new dryer start switch, but after viewing your video it ended up being the broken dryer timer knob issue you noted! Thanks again!
F*ing-A man. Im so glad i stumbled across your video. I had traced out all the components with all of them working. Was slamminy my head. Cant believe I missed this simple issue. Ty!
THANK YOU!! I went and bought a fuse, thinking that was my issue. I was watching vids, came across this, tried it, and you were right! Much love to you, my man! Atleast now ihave a fuse for when that decides to go. Lol it seems to be alot of work to get to it, harder than a lot of the other dryers I've watched videos on, anyway. Again. Thank you. Subbed and liked.
I have a question and I hope you get this and get to answer. I just checked my dryer and my cycle one isnt broken, BUT my start one is! Assuming this would probably be the same circumstances?
Thanks for this video. Please what is the name of the starter dial? I am looking for it in Home Depot website but can’t find it . Or where can I buy it from? My dryer won’t start just like the one you showed here. Thanks for your help.
Mine was doing the same thing but it was the start switch that was cracked. I was going to buy a new dryer tomorrow. I haven't ordered the part yet but after watching this video I'm sure that's what it is
Sir! You just saved me hundreds of dollars. We literally can't afford a new dryer and I was stressed! Thank you so much from Texas!
