I just tested the motor on my dryer to see if it was faulty or not and the 4 to 5 terminals reads fine but the 4 to 6 terminal reads at 2.4 for a moment and then drops to .3. I know that if the resistance is high the motor is bad, but what does it mean if the resistance is super low?

Mike for Model Number DBXR453ET3AA

Answer Mike, The meter reading should not drop when testing the windings on the motor. If you are having a drop then the most likely problem is a bad motor.

This motor came up when I searched the site for parts for my dryer, but my model number (DDE7100LDL) isn't on the appliance compatibility list for it. Is this the correct motor for my dryer? Are there any other parts I'll need when I replace the motor? Thanks.

Patbob for Model Number DDE7100LDL

Answer Patbob, the motor is part number WE17X10010. If you have an older motor dryer with a motor pulley pressed on you'll need to order a new pulley part number WE12X41. Thanks!

I need to replace the dryer motor for my GE Gas Dryer, Model # DDG8280PBCWH. When searching for the motor kit I find the Motor Kit and the following part # shows up: Part Number: AP4295548. However, when double checking on your website by putting in my model # again, this part comes up as incompatible. Then following your instructions on the web and looking up parts for this dryer using my model # again brings up the above part all over again. It seems there is a flaw on your website getting me trapped in an endless loop of contradictory information. Please inform me what pieces of the information I am gathering from your site is the correct one, compatible or incompatible? I am willing to order the part, if you allow me to return it for a full refund in case it is indeed incompatible. - Please Advise.

Klarom for Model Number DDG8280PBCWH

Answer Klarom, according to your model you'll need motor kit part number WE17X10010. If your model begins with PH or after you'll also need motor pulley part number WE12X41. Thanks!

The dryer doesn't stay on when I release the start button. When I engage the start button I hear the engine start but it cuts off as soon as I release the button. Any suggestions.... Thanks, Mike

I replaced the motor in my old dryer a couple years ago with this kit. It didn't quite fit properly with the blower assembly - the fan blades would hit the front wall and grind. I shifted the motor back a bit to give it more clearance but that meant the motor strap (part 203) didn't really sit on the motor quite right. It worked fine for a few weeks after that, but I recall it being kind of loud. Eventually it started being really loud and not spinning well. I stopped using the dryer then as it was an extra anyway. Well now I have more tenants in my house (this is a coin op in a 3 famliy house) so I'm trying to fix it again. I took it apart today and as I expected it had slipped the motor strap and wasn't in right. To resolve the problems I replaced the screws attaching the motor strap to the blower housing with longer ones and put some washers in between to space it out further. The fan spins nice and freely now, and the motor strap is secured properly to the motor now. My problem is now when I turn it on it's vibrating pretty badly and is quite loud. Did I somehow damage the motor from it running without the motor strap on right? Everything seems aligned and secured properly. The extra space I added doesn't seem like it could be causing a problem - I bent the mounting bracket on the other side just a bit to account for it anyway. Could something be out of balance in the motor? Could I have gotten something in the wiring order wrong to cause a problem like this? It otherwise will work except for the loud vibrating - drum spins, air moves, clothes get warm, etc. But if you watch the motor by itself with the drum out you can see it shaking pretty badly. Do I need to replace this motor again?

Rick W for Model Number DDC6000FALAD

Answer Hello Rick, Based on the information, you will need to replace the motor due to the bushings inside motor are bad.

Just installed a new dryer motor p#AP4295548 and now it sounds like the motor buzzes when the cycle/timer switch is turned on and will not start. It is wired according to the schematic that came with the motor #5 blue, #4 yellow, #3 none, #6 brown, #1 black, and #2 purple ANY help with a cause or different wiring for this issue would be much appreciated....THANKS....Dave...

David for Model Number DDE7500GBL

Answer Hello David, It sounds like the start switch is stuck or there is some other issue going on. You need to test the start switch, the door switch, and the centrifugal switch. It looks like you have wired it correctly if the instructions from GE are correct. If the motor buzzes without activating the start switch I would first suspect the start switch and then I would suspect the wiring is somehow incorrect or the new motor has an issue.

My dryer has gotten louder lately. Not squeaking, just louder. I have replaced the sliders and bearings. Is it a safe assumption that the only thing left that could be causing the dryer to be louder is the motor itself? If I take the drum out and let the motor spin without load, it is not loud.

Joshua C

Answer Hello Joshua. Yes, if the bearings and slides are new, it could be the motor causing the noise.

The motor on my GE Dryer hums but doesn't turn. A friend told me it was a problem with the starter capacitor. Is this the problem? If so, what is the part # ?

Martin M for Model Number BX4500EE1WW

My GE dryer runs but doesn’t always get hot. After running for a while the motor will not always restart. I checked the heat sensors with a multi meter and they are OK, and the igniter looks good. I am thinking the motor needs to be replaced because it will not always restart after running and I am assuming it will not flow enough air to allow the burner to ignite. What do you recommend?

Dave for Model Number GE Gas Dryer Mod.#DBVH510GHOWW

Answer Hi. If the motor does not stay running then it has either bad bearings, dragging armature, shorted windings or centrifugal switch contacts. Therefore it will also open the heat circuit passing through separate centrifugal contacts as well. Either way the motor part # WE17X10010 needs replaced. Correct all vent issues with kinking or clogs. Thank You.

My motor went out on my dryer so I replaced it with this motor kit. Since replacing it, the motor runs much louder. The sound is NOT squeaking or rubbing. It is as if the volume compared to the old motor was turned up.

Michael for Model Number DBSR453EB2WW

Answer Hello Michael. It is common for the motors to sound different. Check and make sure nothing is loose and everything is installed properly on the unit.
