Pat L for Model Number DBXR453ET3WW GE Dryer Dryer would work properly and then fail to heat. I pulled plug when it seemed extremely hot to the touch when not running at all. I replaced thermostat,cleaned out venting system and cleaned interior when opened and gave it a try. Still not heating, just gets warm. Next?
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. Read More...
