Pat G. July 20, 2020 for Model Number DRSR483ED1WW The touchpad and the switch on my dryer don't work anymore. The touchpad is completely unresponsive to touch. Can this item help?
1 Answer Pat, This unit does not have a touchpad but has rotary switches. If the dryer is not starting then you will want to test the door switch for continuity and you can test the start switch as well for continuity. If there is no continuity the replace the broken part. Read More...

James March 07, 2020 will the dyer run if I touch wires together from control switch or do I have other problems like a relay
1 Answer James, jumping wires can cause the unit to operate, however, this is not a recommended thing to do as it can create risks. If the model number of your appliance could be provided in a new inquiry, including the symptoms of the unit, this will allow for the most accurate information to be presented. Read More...
Katie January 24, 2020 for Model Number DJXR433EC2WW The dryer switch works BUT you have to hold to the on position a couple of times until it actually starts. Once it starts you can hear the motor sort of down shift (for lack of a better word). The dryer will run but it takes a long time. I am thinking I need a new starter switch. FYI - the drum moves fine, the hose has been cleaned.
1 Answer Katie, based on the information provided, there would be a motor WE17X10010 issue. The rotary start switch is a temporary switch that just sends 120VAC to the motor to allow the start windings to spin the motor quickly to allow the centrifugal switch to close. Read More...

P.J. W. September 15, 2018 for Model Number DHDSR46EE1WW Bought piggy back connector so start switch could be replaced. male ends of double red wires are smaller than piggy backs. Bought similar size female ends to replace ones on dryer so as to complete process. Was wondering difference btw 22/18 or 16/14 and which would be better to use on this nightmare. many thanks
1 Answer P.J.W, You would want to use a 16/14 wire connector for this dryer as this is what most of the wiring is in the unit. Read More...

Trapper July 21, 2018 for Model Number DBXR463ED1WW The start knob won't stay in position. When you start the dryer and let go of the knob it turns back off and the dryer stops. Model DBXR463ED1WW. Thanks.
1 Answer Trapper, With the unit shutting off as soon as the start switch is released then this would most likely be caused by a faulty centrifugal switch on the motor which would require the motor to be replaced. The start switch does not stay in the position of start as it is just a momentary switch to get it started. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Dot, If the belt switch WD21X10261 is good on the unit and no harness issues exist, you will need to replace the motor WE17X22217. Read More...
