GE 7.2 Cu. Ft Electric Dryer (GTD40EBMKWW) - White

The amount of knobs I have broke is unbelievable. The thing has a huge Engineering flaw. The resistance in the timer is too great for the plastic knobs without even a metal insert. I removed literally every knob off my washer and swapped to the timer and over time all have broke aswell. Funny though even the broken/cracked knobs will still work to change the washer settings, because there is no resistance. Not to mention these knobs are not in-stock anywhere in my country and the design of the faceplate makes it hard to swap out to another knob that would normally be compatible. These timer knobs should have been constructed differently.

Bought dryer 18 months ago and the timer knob cracked inside so can no longer turn the knob

Only had their dryer a year and a half and the dryer knob cracked. Seems to be a common problem with this model. Do not waste your money. And btw my washer to this set broke after having it ten months.

We’ve had this dryer for about a year. Takes too long to dry everyday clothes, loud buzzer, knobs break easily.

Very loud from the beginning. Repairperson thought at first it was the drum, after a new drum then realised the side panel was faulty and was replaced. Eleven months from purchase the machine is acting like there are small explosions, e.g. bangs, making floor vibrate a lot. The third bang was so loud that we thought there was an impact (from unknown source) on exterior wall. (No) it was the GE clothes dryer. Later there was also a screaming sound. Oddly, the service centre in Mexico told us the warranty had run out (before it was even purchased). Really concerned about the function of this expensive machine. Service people are great but do not wish to contact them each year for servicing this machine. I am concern about the quality of this machine.
