Scott November 08, 2023 for Model Number GE DRYER MODEL # GTDX100EM0WW The motor hums only while start button is being pushed. The drum does not spin. The belt is not broken. Drum spins freely by hand. When start button is released the motor stops humming. I assume this is most likely the interlock switch? Serial # TT726014A
1 Answer Scott, Open the door and tape off the door switch. With the switch taped off, push the start button and try to rotate the drum at the same time and see if it starts tumbling. If it does then this will be a faulty motor that will need to be replaced. Read More...
Joe October 25, 2023 for Model Number GTDP490GDOWS Dryer starts when I push start button as soon as I release button dryer stops.if I hold button in it runs full cycle,have opened door held button in drum will turn until I release start button..?could it be inter lock switch thank you
1 Answer Joe, the belt switch WD21X10261 would need to be tested for continuity while it is being activated as if the drum belt is in place. If the switch has continuity, the failure would be in the drive motor WE17X22217. Read More...

Ken September 11, 2019 for Model Number GTDX180GD0WW As soon as you let the start switch go the dryer stops, replaced switch and does the same thing
1 Answer Ken, with the power disconnected, you may want to test the idler spring switch WD21X10261 for continuity while the idler arm is activating it. This switch should have continuity when being activated. If the switch does not have continuity, then it has failed and would need to be replaced. If the switch tests good, and there are no broken wires anywhere, then the centrifugal switch on the motor has failed and the motor WE17X22217 would need to be replaced. Read More...

Sid July 01, 2019 Hello, I have the following dryer: DCVH680EJ1WW Recently, the dryer stopped tumbling/spinning, so I took it apart and found a broken belt lying on the dryer floor. I ordered a replacement belt and thanks to your super helpful video, was able to install the new belt. However, when I turn on the dryer and hit the start/pause button, I just hear one "click". I checked the newly installed belt and the motor turns when the drum rotates, so I am assuming that the belt has been installed correctly. It would be great if you could please help or let me know if I am missing something. Thanks, Sid
1 Answer Sid, you may want to check the broken belt switch WD21X10261 located in between the idler pulley and the cabin wall for continuity while the pulley is away from it. If the idler pulley engaged the switch too forcefully, it could cause the switch to have an open circuit when disengaged. If this is the case, it will need to be replaced. Read More...

Karen June 20, 2019 for Model Number GSD2200G00WW When I start the load of dishes and I forgot to put some in I unlocked the dishwasher but it is not stopping, it keeps running. What do I need to fix the problem??
1 Answer Hello Karen,you would need to take the door apart to check the latch/interlock switch area to check what failed or is stuck closed. If needed the latch is part WD13X10003, the interlock switches are part WD21X10261, you would need two switches. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Del, You will need to use an ohm meter or a continuity tester to check the interlock switch. This is done by touching the meter leads to the terminals on each end of the switch at the same time and checking for 0 ohms of resistance with the ohm meter or continuity with the continuity tester, (continuity meters will beep if connection is good).

Matt Hart February 24, 2019 for Model Number GTD45EASJ2WS. GE Dryer. White GE Dryer model# GTD45ESJ2WS. I recently replaced the drive belt on the dryer which I ordered through you'll got it cheaper than anywhere else and also received it faster. But now im having another issue with the same dryer. I turn the knob to the desired time and push the start button. Dryer drum is rotating now but as soon as I let go of the start button the dryer shuts itself back off. As long as I'm holding the gray start button down the dryer works fine drum spins and it heats up but as soon as release the start button it turns everything off. HELP PLEASE.
1 Answer Matt, When the unit shuts off as soon as you release the start button then this will be a faulty centrifugal switch on the motor. This would require a new motor for the unit. Read More...
