Very well done!! You’re the only person who mentioned about it being hard to get the screws in the other side. Subscribed because you are very easy to follow.
So glad you made this video! I thought you'd have to move the little spring loaded button thing on the bottom left hand side of the dryer where the door pushes in. Thank you so much for this video! Subscribing!!
Excellent tutorial that works for most front load dryers as they are truly designed for this feature. The finish is harder that most paints, traditionally these are glazed with a glass or power coated. Things change. If using a putty / gasket scraper, wrap some painters tape around the blade leaving the sharper edge exposed 1/8th inch or thickness of two to three paper table napkins. Now, screws change, generally they are a simply “Phillips” head screw driver or better yet, a kit of tips from brands like “Irwin”, “DeWalt” etc. These tip are universal in the drive end is 1/4” hex or 6 sided. They fit driver handles as some are reversible. With a good light, inspect the screw heads. You may see the common “Phillips” head shape, but look close! If in between the indentations look for visible shallow lines that total 4 in between each slot. This is called “POSI-DRIVE” and are cut slightly different to facilitate the assembly of these appliances. Not all use these but are becoming more common as small air tools are used during assembly and They don’t want to strip the slots that bugger the screw! Home improvement stores and Harbor Freight carry decent screwdriver bit sets and are under $10 for a verity of tips including a “Torx” bit sometimes called “Star” bits. There are Star bits but not often used outside the Military or other countries. Best of luck & if new, don’t forget to register your product as many come with a 3 year coverage. Instead of simple analog cam driven reed switches, printed circuit boards are replacing 4-5 switches with part #1. Take a photo of model number & serial, place all manuals in zip bag & place in a file cabinet with other appliance owners manuals. A copy of the receipt and date of purchase written on the manuals will quickly help later if parts are needed! DK, ASE master tech since 78.
Thanks. Great video. Do you know if those two small screws in the dryer panel where the door closes onto allow internal panels to be removed? We have a pants draw string that is stuck behind the interior panel. Thanks.

Great video thanks

I just had my new dryer delivered and i want to change the swing. Do i need to change out the part you said?
Easy as long as you know to get that latch part before...
Like just about everything Amazon. Thanks for watching.
what if the door has a Handel ?
Is the handle removable?
Ha! you said to use a good quality screw driver. Now if GE would only use good quality hardware.
I was able to remove the part without breaking it. . I just took the door apart
Can't you just flip the door upside down
Good question but no
