Cindy March 04, 2021 for Model Number AED4475TQO I am just wondering if my timer needs to be changed on my Admiral Dryer? It works I mean run on the proper cycles it just doesn't automatic shut off when the clothes are dry?
1 Answer Cindy, it would be recommended that the push-to-start switch WP3977456 is tested for continuity after unplugging the dryer power cord. If there is continuity, the switch has failed and would need to be replaced. If it does not have continuity, then it is likely that the timer WP8299781 has a stuck contact supplying voltage to the motor. Read More...
Spud February 12, 2021 for Model Number DCVH515EFOWW Electric dryer will run for part of the cycle then stop. After some time it may start up again by itself or we may have to restart it. I have changed the High Limit Thermostat and the Inlet Control Thermostat. The vents are clean and air is moving easily through the vent piping. We have also washed the lint screen to be sure there was no blockage there. Is there a switch on the motor that may be causing it to cut out?
1 Answer Hello Spud, There is an overload protector on the motor that opens if the motor gets too hot. You should first clear the ducting from the dryer to the outside of the home. If the heat cannot escape from the dryer, it will blow past the felt drum seals and overheat the motor, and cut off thermostats causing a no heat condition. The ducting will also cause you to have to run a load through multiple cycles to get clothes dry. It is also possible for the motor to have a shorted winding, causing the motor to overheat and trip the overload. The motor listed for model DCVH515EF0WW is WE03X25634. Read More...
Eli December 08, 2020 for Model Number GTDP280ED3WW hello, i was replacing the drive belt, when removing the backsplash piece, harness touched something when pushing the backsplash back, saw some spark, replaced belt, push to start switch, and door switch, dryer still does not turn on. any idea?
1 Answer Eli, It will be recommended to test from the brown wire on the timer to the yellow wire and see if there is 120 Vac. If there is power then check the belt switch and if it is good then it sounds like a motor issue. Read More...
Mike October 11, 2020 for Model Number DPVH880EJ2WW Hi, I have a problem with my GE profile dryer DPVH880EJ2WW runs for 20 mins then stops then the light for start stop button blinks if I press the start/stop it turns 2 times then stops and repeats. If I wait 5 mins I it will run 20mins stop again. No codes in service mode. I checked the exhaust no blockage, checked the high limit switch and safety switch they both have continuity and will switch if heated. Checked the motor for over heating by touching it and it wasn’t that hot. Blower motor was hot to touch but no lent build up. I tapped all relays on the main control but made no difference. Any more ideas would help. Thanks
1 Answer Mike, Check the rollers on the unit to make sure that they are turning freely. This issue sounds like the motor overheating even though it is not overly hot. If the rollers are good then this will most likely be something with the control board that may be faulty. Read More...
Mark August 19, 2020 for Model Number DWSR463GG8WW I have a gas GE dryer DWSR463GG8WW. It will heat up for 3 minutes, then I hear a click and it will start to cool down. It will not heat back up for the rest of the cycle. This happens on automatic and timed dry settings. I have replaced the gas valve and the coils, I have tested all of the thermostats for continuity and all have passed. I have disconnected the vent hose just in case there was any blockage, same issue. I'm suspecting one of the thermostats, but not sure which one. The names of the thermostats on the wiring diagram are Hi-Limit, Safety, Contol Inlet, and the Drum Outlet. Which one is most likely? Which of those is the Cycling Thermostat? What else could it be?
1 Answer Mark, The drum outlet is the same as the cycling thermostat in other dryers WE4M216/WE4M216 Cycling Thermostat and the thermostat which may be the most likely is the Hi-Limit WE4M80/WE4M80 High Limit Thermostat. But hey should all reset eventually and the dryer should attempt to cycle on and reheat? The information given would indicate a loss of power to the gas valve, so you'd want to test the timer and selector switch circuits. It could be a loss of the neutral circuit to the gas valve, so you'd need to test the door switch circuit and the motor switch circuit(M1 to M2) to make sure the circuits aren't opening during the cycle.

Roy March 29, 2019 HTDX100EM7WW My dryer heating element only heats on two of the strips, I've tested continuity through all 3 and had it, this is with the heat setting on medium or regular heat. Is it most likely to be the temperature selector switch? Also the switch will spin all the way around but clicks into all three positions, is this normal?
1 Answer Roy, the element [WE11X20397] should read 21.8 ohms on the inner coil (from purple wire connector to white wire connector) and the outer coil should read 21.8 ohms (from the purple wire connector to the blue wire connector). If either coil does not test for this ohm reading, the element is bad. Another thing to test would be the cycling thermostat [WE4M181] which should read for continuity when tested. The temperature selector switch [WE4M404] should not be able to rotate around. However, the switch can be tested for operation. When selected to high heat, connection 15 and 16 should read for continuity. When selected to medium heat, contact 7 to 8, as well as 15 to 16, should read for continuity. Read More...
Gracie February 09, 2019 for Model Number DPVH880EJ2WW Dryer had clogged vent which is now fixed. Now it runs 10 minutes or so and then stops. The start/pause button flashes just like if the door was opened mid cycle and then shut. Pushing the start/pause button has the unit run a few seconds and then does the same thing. After it cools off it will again run about 10 minutes and repeats the issue as stated above. There are no error codes showing when put in service mode following the event. If put in test mode for the outlet or inlet thermistor right after this happens the drum will run as it should (30 seconds,reverse, 30 seconds...) until test stopped. It will complete multiple 10 minute fluff cycles (no heat) without stopping. Thanks!
1 Answer Gracie, This sounds like a possible door switch issue. If the motor was the problem it wouldn't run in a test mode after it was already hot and ran for a while. A thermister would not make it shut off and if a thermostat was the issue once they fail it wouldn't restart. I would focus on the door switch in this case. A continuity test would tell you and check the mounting of the part making sure no screws are loose and connections are tight.WE4M415 Read More...
Eddie November 02, 2018 for Model Number dpvh890ejmg On automatic cycles or timed dry the dryer will run for about 20 minutes or so and then stop and the clothes are still wet. If I try to run it again it will just turn once or twice and stop again. I replaced the Motor but it is still doing the same thing. I have cleaned all the vents. The dryer does get hot but the clothes still stays wet. What could be causing this issue?
1 Answer Hello Eddie, You will need to check the dryer ducting from the rear of the dryer to the outside atmosphere, (home ducting). If the dryer cannot get rid of the heat and moisture, it will cause the clothes not to dry and make the motor overheat and cut out on overload. Read More...
Shuan G September 01, 2017 for Model Number htdx100em8ww The dryer its getting very hot I would say above safe running temp it is damaging clothing. I figure it is maybe a thermostat but i do not know which one? Any help would be nice. I did check exhaust seems like good air flow. The timer will shut off but cloths will not be dry and very hot. Thanks shaun
1 Answer Shaun, You will want to check the high limit thermostat and will want to check the cycling thermostats for continuity. If there is no continuity then the part is bad and will need replaced. The cycling thermostat would be more likely with this issue. Read More...
Tom November 25, 2016 for Model Number GE DPRS610GG8WT My gas dryer will start and heat but then stop heating after a few minutes. If I wait a while ie 20 minutes the same thing will happen. I replaced the ignitor. Not sure if I should replace the safety thermostat next or the coils
1 Answer Hello Tom, If the model number is actually DPSR610GG8WT, the issue will either be the coils WE04X10020 or the gas valve WE14M114 itself. Read More...
