All Installation Instructions for General Electric Dryer GTDP200EF5WS

Dryer would shut off on heat dry after a couple of minutes. I could feel the heat working. It would only continue to run on fluff/no heat

Pulled the drum an found spade clip burned on wire. Hi limit Thermostat crumbled/ broke while pulling spade clip so I trimmed back the wire, cleaned the spade clip and soldered the wire back on. Isolated the other thermostats in the system and tested for resistance. Reassembled dryer.

Parts Used:

High Limit Thermostat - L315-65

Dryer timer had gone out, and would not start.

I remove the know, slid the old timer out, leaving the wires connected. Placed the new timer into position and secured it, then unplugged wiring one at a time, placing them onto the new timer. All went great.

It was a bit difficult because we ordered the wrong parts twice.

Handyman installed the finally correct switch. It was not the starter button.
This company was wonderful. Replaced each part without charge and rushed the replacements to us. Can' say enough good things to thank them for their courtesy.

Parts Used:

Start Push Button

Timer in Timed Dry cycle stopped at 50 minutes.

Unplugged dryer from wall.Removed 3 screws from the back that held the front face plate on. Pulled face plate away and to the right to release it from the dryer. Lifted the locking tab slightly and turned the old timer counter clockwise to remove. One at a time I removed a wire and connected it to the new timer. Installed new timer to the back of the face plate. Pushed on timer knob so I could hold the back of the timer to get it all the way on to the shaft. Lined up the three tabs at the bottom of the face place and slid it to the left , pushed the face face into place and secured it with the 3 screws. Plug Dryer back in. Done in less than 10 minutes. Dryer now works properly again. I know I saved myself a lot of money doing the repair my self.

the dial was hard to turn and the timer quit working

YouTube showed me just what to do. I unplugged the dryer and took the back off. Then I took a picture of the timer with my phone since there were about 6 different colored wires that had to be unhooked and put back in the right place. It was not difficult. Last I turned the timer in the bracket so it was secure. I also had to order a new dial since the old one was split from years of use. A repairman would have charged for the call out plus the parts so I saved money by doing it myself. P.S. I'm a 71 year old woman.

The timer on the dryer would not set or run properly

We were able to do the repair easily by following the video instructions. Be sure to record where the different wires attach. You may need a square tipped screw driver, we had to buy one.There was one extra screw holding in the timer that I don't think was in the video.
Before ordering the timer, take off the timer knob and check to see if it is cracked inside. You may need to order the timer knob in addition to (or instead of) the timer itself. You can test this by taking off another knob and putting it on the timer. Make sure the metal clip is inside the shaft of the knob. The main difference between the knobs seems to be the position of the arrow. We are now using the knob from the signal buzzer while waiting for the timer knob to arrive.
