Craig December 14, 2020 for Model Number GE DBVH512EFOWW Replaced high limit thermostat, inlet thermostat and drum belt. Dryer was cutting on off before clothes dry. Now it runs from 2 to 10 mins and gets extremely hot, even the back of dryer is hot to touch and clothes are very hot. Is this my heating element assembly? If so do I need just the heating element assembly, making sure coils are included in assembly.
1 Answer Craig, Based on the information provided I would test the element to see if it is grounded and also check for proper air flow. WE11M23 Read More...
Paul July 13, 2020 for Model Number NWXR483EG4WW I put a restring element kit in our dryer this past December, when I had it apart I found that the back plate was cracked, needed to have the dryer working so i put the new elements on the cracked assembly. The dryer has started shutting down and feels hot on the top when it does, could this be caused by the broken back plate assy? All exhaust tubing was replaced and /or cleaned prior to replacing elements and I also replaced the safety thermostat, the high-limit thermostat and the cycling thermostat with the new elements.
1 Answer Paul, If the broken piece has allowed the element to get shorted to ground then yes it could cause your issue...would need to inspect it to be sure. Read More...
Rcb April 26, 2020 for Model Number DPSQ475ET4WW Dryer heats up but towels and sweat shirts take too many 80 min cycles to dry
1 Answer RCB, This issue sounds like an airflow issue, check the venting system from the dryer all the way out for blockages and crimped lines. You can test this by pulling the dryer away from the wall and disconnect the vent from the machine and dry a load to see if the machine components are all working. Read More...
Mike June 07, 2018 for Model Number DPXR473EW0WW My GE Profile elec dryer: timer was not advancing, replaced. Still not advancing, except on timed dry. On timed dry though advancing the temp will not get very high. Replaced resistor, still has same problem. Is it heating element? Or possibly the thermostats? Thank you for your help. Mike
1 Answer Mike, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty outlet thermostat on the blower housing. Read More...
Phillip September 20, 2017 for Model Number Hotpoint model NB463EBWW Dryer just stopped running, checked breaker and it was tripped. Reset breaker, set dryer to Air Fluff no heat setting runs fine, then turn heat to low/ delicate and trips breaker. Pretty safe to assume need a new heating element because that's what is shorting.
1 Answer Hello Phillip, from your description it sounds like you do have a short to ground in your heat circuit. More than likely it will be the heater but you will want to check all your wires and connections first. Hope this helps! Read More...
Barbara January 15, 2017 for Model Number GE electric dryer Will being on a 20 amp breaker instead of a 30 amp breaker cause the dryer to not heat?
1 Answer Barbara, Not really, the dryer should heat, at least until the 20 amp breaker trips open. A 20 amp breaker is "border line" for a dryer, when you figure the average heater element draws 18 to 20 amps, and the running motor will draw another 2 to 4 amps, the breaker will eventually trip open. But if the dryer is running, it should be heating, unless there's an issue witht the thermostats or heater element. Read More...
Hugh October 05, 2016 for Model Number GEW9200LW0 The ge model# on the dryer shows: djxr433ec2ww. What is the correct paert order number for the heater. The video shows clearly how to replace the heater, but no discussion on verifying if one of the two temp sensors or thermal fuse has failed. Please confirm. Thank you.
1 Answer Hugh, You would test the thermostats by doing a continuity test. If there is no continuity then the part is faulty and would need to be replaced. The heater element for the element only is WE11X10007. If you want the heater with the housing then it would be part number WE11M23. Read More...

Richard February 08, 2015 for Model Number DJSR473ET0AA Dryer was taking three times as long to dry clothes. Disassembled dryer per your video and discovered one of the heating coils was broken. Order heating element assembly (AP2619954) and installed per video. Dryer will no longer stay running when the start switch is released. Suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Richard. Check the wiring for the motor and make sure it is not loose. If it is good, and all other wiring is good, then the motor will need to be replaced. Read More...
