George September 11, 2021 for Model Number GTDP200EF3WS Dryer stopped working. Checked continuity on start button, good. Continuity on belt switch, good. Door switch checks good and light goes on and off when switch is pressed. Motor seemed to check bad, replaced but still nothing when start button is pressed. What else needs to be checked before I buy more parts?
1 Answer George, with the power cord unplugged, the timer WE4M533 would need to be tested from terminal B to terminal C for continuity. If there is continuity, the wires of the unit would need to be inspected for any loose connections or broken sections. Read More...

Mark August 16, 2020 for Model Number GFDN245GLOMV Error code E11, drum rotates fine and all other items working. The centrifugal switch appears to be bad for this dryer motor WE17M54 your replacement motor is WE17X22217. Can I purchase just the centrifugal switch located on this motor? Thanks Mark
Jake August 08, 2020 for Model Number DLB2650BDLWH I purchased a replacement motor and I need to know the correct wiring my old motor has 5 wires on the motor and labeled 1 black ,6 brown, 4 yellow, 5 purple, 2 red. Thanks
1 Answer Jake, with the jumper harness attached and the terminals spaced farthest apart being used as the left side, the wires would be placed from the left to the right as follows: terminal 1 red, terminal 2 black, terminal 3 brown, terminal 4 yellow, terminal 5 purple. Read More...
Kim May 30, 2019 for Model Number GFDN240GL1WW My dryer heats up and it spins but there is no air flow. It worked fine until the electric went out while it was running. What do I do to fix it?
1 Answer Hello Kim, if the dryer starts, the drum is turning and it is heating but has no exhaust airflow then remove the lint filter and check if anything is blocking the duct down to the blower wheel. The blower wheel WE16X20393 is attached to the the motor shaft and should be rotating when the drum is turning. Read More...
E. March 23, 2018 for Model Number DWSR463EG6WW 2 weeks ago I replaced the timer and the dryer has been working fine. Then the other night the Dryer stopped during use. Pressing the start button does nothing. The door light does go off and on when the door switch is depressed. I replaced the interlock switch today and still nothing happens when the start button is pressed. Any idea what else could be wrong?
1 Answer Hello E. You will need to test for a bad thermal fuse WE4M137 or a broke belt 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...
Ronald February 22, 2018 for Model Number DVLR223E The dryer has no heat checked switches Safety left, Control inlet, Thermo hi-limit right and drum outlet and all test OK. The inside and outside heating elements test OK. The drum rotates, but I suspect the motor switch is faulty. Is a new motor switch needed?
1 Answer Hello Ronald, If the thermostats are all good it will have to be the centrifugal switch in the motor or the timer, if proper voltages are present to the unit. For part numbers and a more detailed diagnosis, please post a new question including the model number from your units' I.D. tag. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Betty September 10, 2017 for Model Number GTDP490EDOWS My push start As long as I hold the button in the dryer will work but if I let go it stops. We just put a timer switch on the dryer. We order the start switch but it's different than the one on the dryer. Could you tell me what start switch I need.
1 Answer Hello Betty, you'll want to look for a loose or broken wire going to the motor. Also make sure no lint is prohibiting the operation of your motor switch. If all looks good, you'll have to replace the motor part number WE17X22217. Thanks! Read More...
Mike D July 02, 2017 for Model Number GTDP180GD0WW Dryer runs but stops after releasing start button. I was told the centrifugal start switch was bad in the motor. Checked all other: Door switch, Timer and burner fires if I hold the start switch. Replaced the motor still does the same.
1 Answer Mike, You will want to check the wiring between the start button and the motor to make sure that there is no bad wiring. This would really be the only cause other than the motor centrifugal switch being faulty. Read More...
