Questions & Answers

For Ge Electronic Control Board (Main Control) (Part Number: OEM10269951)

1 Answer

Bandele, you will need to access the WE4M296 Electronic Board and check for a cracked, broken, or damaged keypad button/tab or damaged wire, etc.. you most likely have a damaged, broken sensor dry keypad/tab, so there's a constant circuit causing the control to beep and revert back to the sensor dry setting.

Hello Angel, If both heating elements, the thermostats, and the centrifugal switch in the motor all test good, the issue will have to be either a dropped leg of power, (L2), or a bad relay on the control board WE4M296.

R. S., First, you may want to check for a broken belt WE03X29897 and/or the idler switch [AP399476] on the motor mount, if the belt is broken, or the switch or wiring has failed the dryer will not start or run. Otherwise you will need the control board WE4M296 .

Bruce, Based on the information it sounds like a relay may have been sticking which would have cause the control board to fail and overheat. The control board would need to be replaced.

Hi. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. It will be advantageous to find the supplied tech sheet inside the cabinet to aid you in the diagnosis. It allows you to put the unit in a diagnostic mode which brings up fault codes and tells you which circuit needs assistance. E0 display if the thermistor has no error. E1 if an error exists. Then verify the thermistor part # WE4M275 reads 100K ohms @ 77° room temperature. Remove the CN4 connector at the rt. side of the transformer on the control board. Place the ohm meter on pins 5 & 6. Thank You.

Hi Julesbegin. The first thing to do is to access the rear of the control panel. Remove power. Remove control back and get the factory tech sheet supplied with the unit. In this it will tell you what the cotton cycle code is. It is suggested here to change the main control board part # WE4M296. Thank You.

Hello JC. The small terminals on the thermostat should show resistance, but not continuity. If the cycling thermostat is bad, it can prevent the dryer from drying properly. Hope this helps.
