Mary September 06, 2016 for Model Number dlllr33rj0ww My dryer just stopped spinning last night but I can still hear it buzzing. Would that be the motor?
1 Answer Hello Mary. If you can start the drum by hand, then the motor is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Michael S January 11, 2016 for Model Number GE DWSR483EG9WW Trying to narrow down my issue. At first the dryer would stop a 60 to 70 min timed cycle 5 to 10 minutes after starting. I pulled it apart, cleaned everything thoroughly. Put back together and now it runs without quitting but doesn't dry clothes. I ran with top off a few times and notice the heating coil lighting up about a minute after running and staying lit for about 2 to 3 minutes but then turning off. So I know it is one of 6 things perhaps. Thermostats, motor switch, or timer switch. I continuity tested all thermos. They all checked out. So I put a bypass in parallel between the two larger gauge wires on the harness that plugs into the motor (I think pink and red but don't recall, if looking from the top of the motor it's the far left two in the harness) The dryer now works. So does that mean the motor switch is faulty that switches on the heating coil? Could the control timer still be causing it. Not sure how to isolate the control timer.
1 Answer Michael, If you bypassed the motor switch and the unit runs and heats then the switch on the motor would be faulty and would require a new motor. Read More...
Roberta December 07, 2015 for Model Number DRSR495EG6WW My dryer is making a loud squealing noise and shutting off mid cycle. My husband informed me that he ripped out some of the felt seal and didn't think to replace it. I ordered the part and replaced it thinking that would fix the squealing. It didn't. I am currently waiting on a Rear Drum Bearing Sleeve and O Ring because I thought that was the problem. But now after watching youtube videos, I'm thinking it might be the motor due to the dryer shutting off mid cycle. Any help you can give? What do you think the problem is?
1 Answer Roberta, You are on the right track with replacing the rear bearing but you also need to check the bearings in the front of the unit also. If the bearings are bad then it cause undue drag on the motor causing it to overheat and shut down. Read More...
Mike October 27, 2015 for Model Number DRSR495EG7WW Dryer shuts down at times and will not start until cools down and click is heard. Unit is clean inside and out and air flow good. Does not appear to be overheating. Seems to happen on heavier loads at the beginning of cycle. Does the motor have a thermal overload? Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Mike, You should check for anything opposing rotation of the drum. If nothing is found, replace the motor WE17X22217. Read More...
Edward July 22, 2015 for Model Number DBXR463EG2WW When I start the dryer it attempts to start then stops immediately. After unplugging the dryer, spinning the drum, sometimes turning the timer knob it will start. I have replaced the start switch. Could it be the motor?
1 Answer Hello Edward. Yes, if the motor WE17X22217 is bad, it can cause this issue your having. Read More...
Michelle July 13, 2015 for Model Number GFDS350GLOWW Hi, Do the Washer motors have Warranty for 365 Days also? If the part has been installed and turns out to be defective during that time of use? thanks.

Steve June 28, 2015 for Model Number GTDP300EM1WS My dryer runs with the start button pressed but stops when it is released.
P Mensing June 03, 2015 for Model Number GE: DVLR223GG8WW Baffled. Push start, nothing. No hum or anything. Checked power going in. Power confirmed @ the white 2 conductor plug inside the unit going over to the motor. Proofed the door switch which is good. What do I do next? It’s as if the unit is not getting power. Symptoms: A light load of bed sheets were left partially dried and (while not present) the unit evidentially shut off. Barrel turns freely, no apparent transport problems that I could see. Idler/tensioner was in place with belt properly on it when I disassembled, and the unit always ran quietly. What do I look at next? I have a volt ohm meter. Other switches anywhere? Certain resistances to look for across certain terminals? REALLY appreciate the help. Pete
1 Answer Hello P Mensing. You will need to check for a bad thermal fuse WE4M137 on the unit. 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...
Steve May 03, 2015 for Model Number DRSR495gg9WW Dryer motor does operate. When you press start button, the dryer hums but does not operate. Took dryer apart. Removed drum etc. No binding on the motor- spins free. Is there a reset for the motor? Or any other device that would could prevent operation or just the motor. Want to make sure before ordering new motor Thanks
1 Answer Steve, There is no type of reset or device that would prevent the operation of the motor. You will want to check any pulley or drum bearing to make sure that they are not binding and causing the drum to not turn but it sounds like a motor would be what is needed. Read More...
Sylvia March 17, 2015 for Model Number GTDN500EM1WS Push start button but dryer won't turn on. But if you hold the start button dryer makes humming sound.
1 Answer Hello Sylvia. Make sure the drum is not binding up. If not, you will need to replace the motor in the unit. Read More...
