Customer Questions and Answers for Heating Element Assembly (with Housing) by GE

Bridget D. for Model Number dbxr453evoww

Answer Hello Bridget. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff. Also check the heater WE11M23 and thermal fuses WE4M160 WE4M137 and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter TJMA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Answer Hello Billy. You will need to test the thermal fuse WE4M137 and the door switch WE4M415. They should read closed for continuity. The door will need to be closed for the door switch. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

Pat L for Model Number DBXR453ET3WW GE Dryer

Answer Hi Pat. Your heating element probably shorted to ground causing low amount of heat. This part # is WE11M23. Did you change the cycling thermostat? If not then you will need to change it as it will get shorted terminals and cause a high heat runnaway. This part # is WE4M156. Thank you. 

Ricky for Model Number DBLR333EG7WW

Answer Hello Ricky. You will need to try replacing the breaker. It may be weak or bad. If it continues, you have something grounding or shorting out. Hope this helps.
