Got a GE Brand Dryer with the D-lug style start button?

Did that button break?

Are you willing to pay GE $38USD to replace a piece of crappy plastic?

OF COURSE YOU'RE NOT, ya DINGUS..

So here's my solution to GE trying to extort people into buying another short-lived appliance.

How To Install:

• Remove three screws on back of control panel (top of dryer)
• SLIDE control panel to the LEFT and lift up gently
• Ensure main start-switch is still intact (if it has broken free, use 3D pen or Super Glue to Secure)
• Using needle-nose pliers, CAREFULLY pull metal D-sleeve off of plastic switch plunger
• Using either bench-vise or pliers, press-fit metal D-sleeve into printed button
• GENTLY press button onto switch plunger while supporting the back of the main switch-body until no more movement is allowed
• Re-assemble control panel (reverse of disassembly)

Congratulations!! You just saved almost $40USD with $0.02 of plastic and a few minutes of your time (it takes roughly 15 min to print)

You're welcome.
