Brian for Model Number DBXR453ET5WW Hello. While testing my dryer after repairing it, the start switch touched some metal and shorted out. Burning off one of the wires to the start switch. I repaired the wire but the dryer will not start now. I have the correct voltage going to the dryer and the start switch shows continuity when I rotate the knob to the start position. What would keep the dryer from starting? Where does the start switch get its power from? The start switch is burnt but it does show continuity in the start position. Which wire should I check on the start switch for voltage? Thanks.
Answer Hello Brian, You need to check the door switch WE4M415 and the timer, (brown wire). Be aware that if the timer contacts are at fault and no voltage is found on the brown wire, the door switch will not receive any voltage because it get the voltage from this same terminal as does the push-to-start switch. The timer WE4M188 gets its voltage from the red wire. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, March 17, 2014
