Dave August 12, 2011 for Model Number DS4500EB2WW Our GE electric dryer began to start as soon as you set the timer and closed the door. I checked for solutions on ApplianceParsPros.com and ordered a new rotary start switch. I received and installed the switch. Now the dryer starts when I turn the switch but then stops when I release the switch. The original switch has evidence of a short and wouldn't spring back to the off position. Is the new switch (Part # WE4M519) bad, or should I look elsewhere?
1 Answer Hi Dave. Double check the wiring to the start switch. Is the red wire on terminal # 2? The red wire coming from the buzzer goes on the #-2 as well. The brown wire comming from the belt idler switch goes to the # -3 terminal. The brown wire going to the thermal fuse goes to brown # -4 terminal. Let us know if we can assist you further. Thank you.

Tim Z. August 08, 2011 for Model Number dhdsr48gf2ww The knob for the start switch on our dryer has broken and we would like to replace it, but the only associated part we can find is the start switch itself. Is the knob not available by itself and if it is what is the price?

Jorge July 21, 2011 for Model Number DBSR453GB1WW Hi there. I need help with my dryer, as I read I know I've got to replace rotary start switch, because it doesn't springs back. But also I have this problem: Dryer stop working after 30min aprox. and if I leave start switch on, dryer works again after a few minutes. Any idea what could it be? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Jorge. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the motor WE17X10010 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Dan March 25, 2011 for Model Number dbsr453eb3ww Dryer starts as soon as the timer knob is turned to a cycle. If the door is opened, it will stop, but will start again as soon as the door is shut. The start switch no longer springs back like it used to and everything operates normally except you don't have to use the start switch.
Guest March 13, 2011 for Model Number DHDSR48E1WW The problem is when it was started, it started then quit. Now when we turn the start knob nothing happens. There is power running to it. How do I know it is the rotary start switch regulator?
1 Answer Hello. You will need to test the door switch, thermal fuses, and rotary start switch. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. If all of these test good, you will need to check and see if you are getting power to the motor. Hope this helps. Read More...
