GTDP490ED2WS General Electric Dryer - Instructions

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.

Will you replace the dial mechanism for the timer. In fact my wife replaced ours had it done by the time I got home.

this was a part i ordered for future use. i was very happy with the ordering process and speed of delivery from PartSelect.

inserted the lint catcher into the opening to replace the old one

Took back off control,panel. Took the timer out from the back, but left all the wires on. Took one wire off at a time and installed that wire on the same terminal on the new timer and did the same for all wires, one at a time. Replaced timer. Tried timer. It worked great. Buttoned up back and pushed dryer back in place.

remove screws from rear of dryer panel . remove timer knob . remove torques head screw from timer , twist timer to remove from mount . removed wires & mounted wires on new timer . mounted timer . replaced screws in rear panel of dryer .mount timer knob . WOULD RECCOMEND changing knob with timer .

Generally followed directions by another customer that was provided with order. Much appreciated for this DIY. Do have extra comment so here goes.
1. Unplug dryer from wall and remove existing control knob.
2. Remove three screws on back of control compartment and fold the front forward.
3. Remove tiny anchor screw for timer and twist loose.
4. Transfer wire from old to new one at a time. (Extra comment - I thought at first there was problem with new timer because there were more wires than connectors. Some of the wires had double connectors. That hiccup in installation was caused by my inexperience with this first time effort.)
5. Reconnect timer to dryer compartment with tiny screw.
6. Replace three screws on back.
7. Add new control knob, plug up dryer, and it is done.

Pulled old knob off. Aligned new knob. Pushed on. Took less than 1 minute, no tools required.
Expensive for a knob.
But it fixed the problem better than switching another knob from the machine.

Easy as 1 2 3.
1 Ordered Part Received in 3 days Great Service
2 Used Scissors to open the package (not tough to do)
3 Used 1 hand to put the knob on Works Great !!!
Start to Finish 3 min. 16 seconds !!!!

Very easy. Just take each wire from old switch and transfer to new.

Easy peasey! Just Removed/Replace screw-in type bulb.

Still waiting for your parts. over two weeks to get part which was a hinge for something, I don't know what, but not my dryer seal. You said you would refund shipping and wrong part and charge me for a new order. End result was I got charged extra shipping for your mistake. The part still is MIA and it has been 5 weeks since I originally ordered. Will never do business with you again.

Key starting point is to remove top cover by removing two long screws located at the front of the cover
Remove control panel and it's bottom and side supports.
Remove short vent pipe by bending retainer tab.
Support the drum at the top using piece of rope.
Remove main rear cover (leave bottom attached).
Remove electric heating unit and install new bearing carrier from kit.
Reinstall the the heating unit
Remove three screws (inside the drum)to release the inner drum cover and release the bearing carrier.
Install new bearing carrier. Note: the three holes in the bearing carrier are not tapped, I suggest that the screws be installed (threads cut) into the bearing cover before attempting to install the bearing carrier.
Install the new bearing carrier. Note: pilot one of the holes using a small nail etc. then go on to install screws in the other two holes remove the pilot device and install the third screw.
Reassemble in reverse order.

I removed the top cover and the back cover to install new belt.
Once i put new belt i discovered that the pulley was also broken so now i have order the pulley so that i can complete the repair

All I neede to do was buy the new part and snap it into place on the door. The hardest part was making the door usable while waiting for a new handle. The solution was good old duct tape. I just taped the old broken handle in place until the new one showed up.
