Jim Wilson for Model Number GUD27ESSMWW Hello, I have a "unitized" washer/dryer of less than a year old. The dryer will only run for about 10 seconds once the start switch is pressed. After digging into it a little, I noticed that the area on the plate where the "Voltage-Dropping Resistor" is mounted, is very hot. The resistor reads 4800 ohms. Is this indicative of a bad resistor or is something else making the resistor heat up. Thank you in advance, you guys are great.
Answer Jim, The resistance of the resistor should be 4500 ohms which are showing as being good if it is 4800 ohms. If the unit is only running for 10 seconds then shutting off then this would most likely be a motor issue. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, April 8, 2020
