Ronald June 17, 2024 for Model Number GTDP180EDOWW The inside light goes on and off with the door opening and closing. The unit doesnt start when the start button is pushed. What might be the problems
1 Answer Hello Ronald, thank you for contacting APP, The unit not starting may be one of a few different things on this unit. The Timer WE4M533 may have failed and no longer be creating a circuit, also the Push-to-Start Switch WE4M416 may be bad and no longer making contact to allow the unit to start. Additionally the Hi-Limit Thermostat WE4M137, Door Switch WE4M415, or Drive Motor WE17X22217 may have failed. If it seems like the motor is buzzing, humming, or vibrating when the Push-to-Start is pressed and held we would suspect that the motor is bad, otherwise we would need to perform voltage and/or continuity/resistance tests to narrow down the issue further.

Rob September 07, 2023 for Model Number GTD42EASJ2WW Where is the thermal fuse located in ge dryer Gtd42easj2ww ?
1 Answer Rob, The thermal fuse will be located on the heater housing on the top right when looking at the dryer from the front. If the dryer will not start when you push the start button then check to make sure that the door switch and the belt switch are good first. These would be the most common causes for this issue.

Jeff January 13, 2021 for Model Number WED5300SQ0 my dryer..works when the door is open and when I close it..pushing the automatic door closer button..the dryer..turns off!!.. I have checked this numerous times.. it's backward working on me..like the switch is bad
1 Answer Jeff, a faulty door switch is a good possibility but you may want to check the switch wiring first WP3406107 Dryer Door Switch and any discoloration or distortion of the door switch assembly and connectors. You may want to view the "how-to" video attached to the door switch part number so you can easily access and check the appropriate components. Read More...
Edwin January 09, 2021 for Model Number gtdp280edoww the start button is flush to the panel and will start the dryer
1 Answer Edwin, it would be likely that either the button of the panel has become misaligned or the push to start switch WE4M416 has failed. The start switch can be tested for continuity with the power supply cord unplugged and the switch removed from the panel. If it has continuity, it has failed. Read More...
Christopher October 18, 2020 for Model Number GTUN275EM1WW When I press the start button the dryer will come on, but will only run with the switch pressed. When I release the start switch the dryer stops. What would be the most likely cause?

1 Answer Hello Richard, This will either be an issue with the belt switch WD21X10261, the harness, or the run windings in the motor assembly WE17X22217. Read More...
