Margaret W November 19, 2016 for Model Number DCXR463EA1WW Hi, I ordered a rotary start switch WE4x881. However, this has only 2 wires. the rotary start switch on my dryer has 3 wires. What is the part number for the rotary start switch with 3 wires for this model? Thank you, Margaret
1 Answer Hello Margaret. According to the model number, WE4X881 is the correct switch and should work on your model. They do not list a 3 wire switch. Read More...

Jim November 03, 2016 for Model Number DBSR463GG8 I need to fix or replace my rotary start switch. The last time I tried to use my GE dryer, the knob came off when I tried to rotate the switch to start the dryer. The knob is not broken and there is no piece of the shaft in the knob either. I heard the switch fall in the control panel housing. I watched your repair video and there are some differences. The four panel mounting screws are screwed into the aluminum back and not down into the back of the porcelain panel. Also, the screws look like they take a square bit instead of the Torx 20 indicated in your video. The dryer is not easy to access the back side but screws and top control panel can be accessed by leaning over dryer. Have to disconnect the attached flexible metal hose to move dryer out into room (it is next to the washer in an enclosure) and possibly even have to disconnect the gas line at the union. I am hoping that the rotary start switch mounting tab came loose and then the switch came completely loose when I turned the switch knob. According to your repair video, I would only have to remount the switch if the switch is OK. If the switch is broken, then I will have to order a new one. First: Can I remove the panel cover on this model by removing the four screws at the rear top of the aluminum back plate that seem to attach the aluminum back to the panel but not sure? Second: What is the chance that the switch came loose and is not broken? Thanks for any help you can provide. Jim Mayes
1 Answer Hello Jim. Yes, it shows that the back panel of the control panel can be removed by removing the screws from the back panel. You should be able to access and replace the switch from there. Read More...

Michael October 26, 2016 for Model Number DVLR223GE0WW Dry only runs when I hold down the push button start switch. Works fine other than that. Is it the start button? I see that it is not available. Is there an alternative or can I bypass the start switch?
1 Answer Hello Michael. No, it sounds like the motor is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Not the switch. Read More...
Deb August 23, 2016 My dryer makes a buzzing sound like it is trying to start when the switch is turned but will not start. Is it the starter switch that needs replaced?
1 Answer Hello Deb. Try turning the drum by hand, with the door switch taped closed and while pressing start button, and see if it starts. If so, the motor is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...

Charles B. July 09, 2016 for Model Number ge mod#dbxr463ed1ww GE dryer has been working perfectly. Now I turn start knob, makes contact, heats, but will not continue to run! Could build up of dust create this problem? If not, what would? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Charles, This is most often caused by a bad centrifugal switch in the motor WE17X10010. Read More...
Bob J June 27, 2016 for Model Number DQSR483EE1WW Hello, I am replacing a start switch and this model is the replacement part number. My old switch has two separate connections for the two red wires. This switch only has one connection for the red wires. How do I connect the two red wires if there is only one connection point?
1 Answer Bob, You would need to get a piggy back connector to connect the 2 red wires to the same terminal. You can get piggy back terminal part number TJMA02896-1. Read More...
