Lynn August 01, 2015 for Model Number GE Dryer DPSR610EG7WT When replacing dryer switch the metal that was on the old switch did not detach from the wire. How do I get the two pieces of metal apart?
1 Answer Lynn, Presumably you mean the metal terminals of the switch. If the switch is still intact you can use a small flat blade screwdriver and pry the wire terminal off the switch. If the switch has fallen apart, you will need a pair of pliers and a pair of needle nose pliers as well. Use the "regular" pliers to hold the terminal still and stationary and use the screwdriver or needle nose pliers to pry the wire terminal off the switch terminal. Read More...
Davy June 19, 2015 for Model Number DBXR463ED1WW If you open dryer door an heat stays on is problem door switch?
1 Answer Hello Davy. No, not likely. If the drum stops but the heat stays on, then it sounds like the element WE11M23 is grounded and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
Jen March 17, 2015 for Model Number GTDP350EM1WS My GE dryer is not working. When I push/ hold the start button, the signal sounds, but dryer does not start. Is that a door switch problem? What part number should I order?
1 Answer Hello Jen. You will need to test the thermal fuse WE4M137 and the door switch WE4M415. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...

Corinne S June 22, 2014 for Model Number dpsr483GA2WW After installing new blower wheel & Idler pulley, we plugged in the dryer would only work when we held the start switch on. when we released the switch it turned off. We then we remembered we forgot to attach the white wire to the interlock switch. After we reassemble we turned the dryer on, then there was a quick start then it stopped. It also blows our circuit breaker to the house panel.
1 Answer Corinne, You will want to double check to make sure that there are not wires that are touching metal. It sounds like you may have miswired something that is causing it draw a high amp and trip the breaker. Double check all connections and reference the wiring diagram to make sure that it is wired properly. Read More...

Ed February 17, 2013 for Model Number GE DPSB620GC1WW How do I replace the door switch on my GE Profile dryer, model number DPSB620GC1WW? If I need to open the front of the dryer, please include details on how to do that on this dryer. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Ed, You will have to take front panel off to change light switch. To do this you will need to use a putty knife in between the main top and front panel. There will be a spring clip on either side that you will depress to lift the top. Once lifted there is a screw on either side that holds the panel on. Remove screws and lift panel off. Read More...
Manny October 19, 2012 for Model Number DVLR223EE1WW I just changed the belt on the dryer and I put everything back together. Now when I turn the dryer on, it turns on but it won't stay on. You have to hold the button down for it to stay on.
1 Answer Hello Manny, I think you need to go back into the unit and look for a switch on the idler arm. This switch keeps the unit from running if the belt comes off. Read More...
