DBB3300EA0WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

Had to remove the drum to get at the heater element also had to swop the sensers to the new element

1) Disconnect power supply. 2) Open dryer door to find and remove two screws through dryer top. 3) Proceed to lift front dryer top panel and tap rear of dryer top with hand to left to disengage tabs and remove dryer top completely. 4) Remove two screws through front panel. 5) Gently lift dryer front panel from base tabs to partial remove panel (careful of wires which remain connected) - pivot front panel to left with wires connected. 6) lift dryer barrel with left hand / reach under barrel with right hand to release belt from tensioner pulley (very easy one-hand maneuver). pull dryer barrel belt off tensioner pulley towards you, remove belt from motor pulley below. 7) lift/pull and remove dryer barrel and belt (flex side panels). 8) take picture of wire connection locations on heating element and remove wires from tabs two locations / 3 wires. 9) remove sensors 3 locations. 10) remove heating element and housing. 11) install new heating element / housing and reverse process. .....tip; belt tensioner pulley was biggest challenge at first because it was hard to see how it all worked and reach. once i realized i could force / lift the barrel up to gain better access it was much easier than trying to fit my arm through the one large available hole at bottom right (when looking at the unit). the tensioner pulley is opposite side (left when facing) and you would have to reach over the exhaust, etc.

Replaced drum bearing part and white slides.The problem was that it was not the drum slide support. It appears to be the the drum rear bearing of whch I am now ordering. The bearing replacement is a little more difficult, but I have taken this on as a challenge

I grabbed the broken knob firmly and pulled it straight off. I took the new knob and pressed it firmly into place.

The old knob broke off & was no longer able to turn the pin to start the dryer. I simply slid the new knob onto the pin & it worked like new.

Fortunately I watched the video on how to change the knob. I may not have noticed that the metal clip part of the old knob was still attached. Once the old part was removed, the new knob slid right into place.

All I did was stick the knob on. How easy was that! Knob works every time. Very pleased with the part.

Doesn't get any easier. Lined up the D shape on dryer and timer knob and just popped it in. Working great. I wanted to comment on the super fast shipping. I have never had anything ordered and delivered to my home so fast. It took less than 24 hours to get to my door from the time I ordered it and we chose just the regular ground shipping. Amazing!

pulled the old kob off and examined it and replaced it with the one i ordered...

Removed small metal band on shaft and installed new knob.Very simple but the video that came with e-mail was helpful as I did not realize the metal band had to come off till I saw the video.

pushed replacement knob on shaft of dryer. machine works better than new. took less than 24 hours from time of order to time of delivery to my house.

Opened the door and removed 2 screws from inside/top of door. Removed top and then removed 2 screws from back of front panel. Lifted drum slightly to remove front panel and attached new slides.

At first i tried to repair the old knob before ordering one with tape and glue.kind of a mans thing you know and needless to say that didn't work so for a little while the man thing was we would adjust a crescent wrench to fit the shape of the shaft to set our time on the dryer. i looked all over our home depot stores and lowes here in town and no one carried the part. my wife Angela decided to look on line and see if anyone carried a part like this. thanks to you guys we were able to order the part and it came in and while i was at work my wife called me and said the dryer is fixed. she just fit the new knob on the shaft and it works like new. thank you part select you made my wife happy.

Find the knobs online, order, put knob in place upon arrival.
