Jlemere February 08, 2015 for Model Number dbvh512efoww Hello, Dryer stops in mid cycle, sometimes it makes it to the drying damp stage, but usually it shuts off sooner. It will stop for a min or so and restart it self going into a continuous loop of on a min off a min. There is no error code and only the cycle stops, main power is still on. Blower motor is working, lint trap deep cleaned. To clarify, it will run for a fair amount of time before the first trip, after that it's on and off and repeat. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I believe the motor is overheating but unsure why it restarts.
1 Answer Jlemere, The most common reason for the unit cycling on and off would be that the unit has a wrinkle guard setting that is initiated at the end of a cycle that is causing the unit to bypass the shutoff and run for one minute and off for 1 minute. As far as not getting completely done would be more of an issue with the moisture sensor on the unit. Read More...
Fred W. J. January 13, 2015 Dryer (GE/GTDP301ELOWS) Runs, but not producing heat. Although clothes appear to be blown, they're lightly damp and cool, also the dial does not appear to be moving to show how much time is left on the load.
1 Answer Fred, you may have more than one problem, try this, put the timer into a timed dry selection and start the machine, let it run 5 or 10 minutes and see if the timer advances, if it does, then the timer is most likely fine. The most common problem with an electric dryer that doesn't heat is a broken heater element WE11M10001 or wire to the element. You may want to start checking there. Read More...
Dan July 04, 2014 for Model Number NTW4650YQ0 Hello I've contacted your personal and was given two fix options for may washer ...costing now $80. Yet still have not fixed problem...replaced Sychronous,actuator unit and cam kit,..unit fills with water door locks then will not agitate ..can feel the humming sound of the motor and feel it through machine yet still won't engage to agitate....the water level is small but once fills won't operate.....please help
1 Answer Dan, With having replaced the splutch cam and the actuator, the issue is going to come down to a faulty gearcase. If the motor is turning and with these other 2 parts being new and installed properly then the gearcase is bad for the agitation cycle and would need to be replaced. Read More...
R[Ck L. April 04, 2014 for Model Number dhdsr466goww GE electric dryer Followed video instructions for replacing belt drive. No problem until i tried to put the new on. Part# we12m29. The belt is very loose.
1 Answer Hello R[ck, The idler arm should be hooked into the motor mount properly and pulled to the right as you are facing the front of the unit. If either of these are not correct, the belt will not install tightly. Read More...
Denny March 04, 2014 for Model Number NBXR453EV1WW HOTPOINT DRYER When replacing the idler pulley after watching your video the spring arm of pulley came completely out. Looking at diagram of that location, I can't tell if it attaches to anything and what to make it stay in place for me to wrap belt on pulley.? thanks
Lou February 16, 2014 for Model Number DPSE810EG5WT Dryer runs fine. There is a slapping noise mid point on dryer top & at bottom area. Its a consistant slap. Could it be possible that the belt is coming apart?
1 Answer Hello Lou. It could be the belt. Yu will need to look and see if it is a bad place on the belt and replace the belt if needed. Read More...
Christina August 14, 2013 for Model Number DCVH515EFOWW I just replaced the drum drive belt and now the dryer is loud and our clothes are getting stuck just above the door. What else should I replace? Also the dryer drum has been really hard to turn. All our clothes are covered in holes.
1 Answer Hello Christina. WE14M124, WE03X37318, and WE03X37317 will need to be replaced on the unit as well as the rear bearing kit WE25M40. Read More...
1 Answer Dan, Loud squeaking noises from this type dryer is usually due to a worn drum bearing sleeve WE1M462 or shaft WE25M40, a worn belt WE03X29897 can make noise, but is usually at the start of the cycle and goes away during the cycle. Depending on age and usage, you may want to replace both, the belt WE03X29897 and bearing sleeve. Read More...
Matt June 09, 2013 for Model Number DBXR453GT3WW I replaced the belt in August of 2010 with WE12M29 which I ordered from here, problem is the belt just broke today. The belt snapped and is only held together by threads in many other spots. Seems like the belt should last more than three years especially since the previous belt lasted way longer if it wasn't the original. My question is am I going to have to replace the belt every few years? Also is there something else that could cause the belt to fail after 3 years?
1 Answer Hello Matt. This sounds like you may have an issue with the rear drum bearing and the front bearing. If the drum is tight or is dragging, it can cause the belt to break on the unit. Read More...
Mike May 24, 2013 for Model Number DBXR453ET3AA I just replaced the motor and belt along with the white slides. The green slides and the white slides for that matter were fine as is the bearing support and I replaced the rear bearing last year. When I run the belt over the pulley to get a tight belt and try to run the dryer the barrel doesn't turn. I've removed the barrel and checked the alignment and it is going in fine. When I unhook the belt from the tension arm the motor spins away. The idler pulley on the tension arm spins pretty freely as well when the belt is not attached. Do you have any suggestions? Also the motor starts to work immediately after plugging in the dryer instead of waiting for the start knob to be turned. I know I'm doing something wrong but hitting a brick wall. You people rock by the way.
1 Answer Mike, If the motor is coming on before the start button is pushed then the timer would be faulty causing the motor to get power when powered off. For the drum not turning but the motor does then double check the rear bearings to make sure that they are not causing an issue. If they check ok then the motor would most likely be weak not allowing to turn drum. Read More...
