Product review (4 stars): Worth the Headache
Originally, I faced the same problem as the reviewer who gave this product a 1 star. I had difficulty fitting the knob over the post so that it would end up flush against the dryer panel.

But then I realized that there was a metal part on the post that I had to remove with needle nosed pliers. That metal part came on the replacement knob and was keeping the knob from fitting over the post.

After I removed the problematic part, the replacement knob fit perfectly snugly and was flush against the panel.

I'm giving this part 4 stars instead of 5 because, yes, it is a flimsy plastic piece, it is overpriced, and it came with *NO DIRECTIONS* which created the confusion that I faced for the better part of the day.

But yes, it is worth every penny in the sense that GE will charge you 3 times as much for the same flimsy plastic piece, and charge you for shipping, and for taxes.
