Delia August 10, 2014 for Model Number DBLR333EG7WW Our dial to set the dyer settings wasn't working so when we took it off... we realized the little knob that goes into the dial wasn't turning with the dial. I believe its called the start switch?? Is this the part that I would need?
Tori July 01, 2014 for Model Number GTDX100EM1WW The Dryer only works when the push to start button has to be held down, In our case we place duct tape over the start button for it to stay on. Is it the switch gone bad?
1 Answer Hello Tori. No, based on the information you provided, you will need to order and replace the motor WE17X22217 on the unit. Read More...
Kathyb February 09, 2014 for Model Number gtdp301elows The push button to start the dryer only works if I hold it down. If we lean detergent bottles against the button to keep it in the pushed in position, the dryer cycle works fine. What part do I need to replace?
Josie August 20, 2013 for Model Number GTDP300EM1WS The dryer runs but only if you hold the start know down.
1 Answer Josie, The dryer only running when pushing on the start switch would be caused by a bad centrifugal switch on the motor and the motor WE17X22217 would need to be replaced. Read More...
Jerry June 06, 2013 for Model Number dvlr223eg7ww I have a GE dryer. The dryer will not start, I checked the timer knob and found that the plastic is cracked where it slides on to the shaft. Could the be the cause ?
1 Answer Jerry, It is possible that the timer knob being cracked would cause the timer to not be in the correct position to turn on. You will want to replace the timer knob but you also want to make sure that when in the correct position that the dryer comes on and if not check the door switch and thermal fuse for being bad.

Cheryll May 10, 2013 for Model Number HTDX100EMWW My dryer will not work at all. I unplugged and had an electrician check both the circuit breaker as well as the outlet and they both pushed out 220. The door switch clicks when I push it manually, but when I tried to check the start button I heard a clank. I took the gray button off and the start switch had fallen into the dryer. Do I need to replace that switch?
1 Answer Hello Cheryll. If the start switch is broken, then you will need to order and replace it on the unit. If you do not, the unit will not start. Read More...
Erica April 27, 2013 for Model Number GTDX100GM0WW When I push the start button on my dryer nothing happens, it does not start. I unplugged the dryer and plugged it into a different outlet and it still did not respond. Do you think it could be the start switch? Is there a thermal fuse on this model? I also tried pushing in the door switch and pressing start and nothing happened.
1 Answer Erica, You would want to check the thermal fuse and door switch for continuity. The push to start switch normally would not be the problem. If either one of the door switch or thermal fuse do not have continuity then it is bad and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Todd October 24, 2012 for Model Number DWSR463EG7WW Went to re-start the dryer with a few towels that didnt get dry. Door closes, push button to start, nothing. Light comes on inside the dryer. Tested door switch and dryer light shuts off when pushed. checked breakers and plug. I am thinking push button start switch. Any ideas?
1 Answer Todd, You still need to check the door switch circuit, it's possible for the drum light circuit to operate and still have an "open" circuit to the timer. Then check the Start switch, terminal two(red) and terminal 4(brown) there should be a "closed" circuit, when the button is pressed. Then test the timer (terminals H to B and B to C should be "closed" circuits when the timer is set to a selection). Read More...

Heidi K. August 10, 2011 for Model Number DVLR223EG0WW If I push the start button and it clicks, but doesn't start the dryer would it be the start button or the temperature gage?
1 Answer Hello Heidi. Test and see if the switch WE4M416 is closing when the button is pressed for continuity. If so, the switch is good. If it is good, you will need to test the thermal fuse WE4M137 and the door switch WE4M415. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
