Gene January 02, 2015 for Model Number DWSR463EG6WW the dry makes a humming sound when the timer switch is in any position but off and the dryer does not run. The humming sound appears to come from the back bottom of the dryer.
1 Answer Gene, You're on target, the motor is the most likely issue. The motor switch is most likely stuck or shorted and applying power to the motor run winding, causing the hum noise. Read More...

Maria October 25, 2014 for Model Number dwsr463gg7ww Can I replace the shaft of the turn on knob? The dryer works but the shaft hard plastic is broken in half. The turn on shaft I'm finding is the motor and I don't need a motor. Please advise. Thank you very much.
1 Answer Maria, the push to start switch shaft is not available separate from the switch, part number WE4M416. Thanks. Read More...

Tommy July 12, 2014 for Model Number GTDP300GM1WS Dryer started turning off after about ten minutes of running. I disconnected the vent tube from the wall and it still did the same. Checked all the thermostats, coils, flame sensor, and igniter. All checked out fine. Cleaned out the exhaust tube all the way to the stack on the roof. Drum spins freely and bearing is good. It seems to be turning off in less time (about 2 min now) than when it first started doing this. Dryer is about three years old. Could it be the motor?
1 Answer Hello Tommy, The motor WE17X22217 is the first suspect in this case. If a winding is shorted inside the motor housing, it will run hotter than normal and will cause the overload in the motor to kick out. Read More...

1 Answer Dick, In order to get the switch on the motor you will have to get the motor as it is not sold as a separate part. Read More...
Terry March 08, 2014 for Model Number dwsr463gg7ww Dryer will only work if door switch/start switch are pressed and we manually rotate dryer bin? I have checked continuity in door switch and thermal switch already. Shot compressed air throughout dryer and cleaned terminals of motor. I think it is the motor but I am not positive. Any suggestions or thoughts would help.
1 Answer Hello Terry. Yes, it sounds like the motor is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Armando December 08, 2013 for Model Number nbxr333eeg7ww How can I make sure that the motor is the problem? Motor runs for a while , but then with 5 minute stop working, then runs again.
1 Answer Hello Armando. If you have to let the motor cool down before it will run again, it is the motor that is bad in the unit. Make sure nothing is binding in the unit. Read More...
