Mg C Simi Valley , CA April 14, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Gas Dryer DWSR483GA2WW Timer would not advance the time so dryer stayed on until manually shut off Just as the folks in the comments section said, I tested everything to make sure the timer had power which it did. I then tested with the OHM tester and saw that the switch was open when the timer was set to any drying cycle. So i changed the timer and voila! timer is functioning again. It was a very easy fix. Just pop the four screws out of the back of my timer panel on the dryer, detach all the wires, lift up on the little bracket that is holding the timer in place and twist it, and it came right out. Oh...and don't forget to take the timer cap off the front of the instrument panel before you take the timer out. Otherwise easy installation. Reconnect all the wires the same way they came off. I took a picture for reference just in case and then when I took one wire off, I immediately moved it to the corresponding connector on the new timer. All and all, a 15 minute job from tool grab to tool put away. Read More... 10 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
Eric D Irving , TX August 11, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Electric Dryer NWXR473ET0WB Dryer wouldn't shut off Replaced the timer. Watched the associated video. There were minor differences but nothing substantial. The timer terminals were marked but not with the associated wire colors. Suggest pulling old timer wires one at a time and plugging them directly onto the new timer, instead of disconnecting wires from old timer and removing the old timer. This will keeps the wires in the correct locations. Read More... 6 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Screwdrivers
