GE Dyer Repair – Canton, OH (HTDX100EM2WW)

We received a call from Canton, OH about a GE dryer with a broken timer knob. The timer knob had broken off and the connection had fallen into the cowling. After inspection, we found the timer had dropped loose from its mount.

The Problem

The customer reported that the timer knob has broken off and the connection had fallen into the cowling. This left the dryer inoperable since there was no way to select cycles or start the unit.

Diagnosis

Upon examination, we discovered the timer had dropped loose from its mount. The knob breaking off was a secondary issue — the real problem was that the entire timer assembly had become detached from its proper mounting position.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts required
• Work performed: Reinstalled the timer to its proper mount
• Result: The dryer is operating correctly
