Steve April 06, 2017 for Model Number NVL333YOWW What is the cut-out temperature on the thermal limiter for a GE dryer?
1 Answer Hello Steve, If your model number is actually NVL333EY0WW, the thermal limiter recommended by the manufacturer is WE25X10011. I'm sorry but the manufacturer has not shared the value of the thermal limiter, even on the tech sheet for the unit. Read More...
Shawn October 21, 2015 for Model Number WSM2700-HAWWW Stackable unit. Door open, dryer running the element glows red full circle for 10 seconds or so then shuts off. Dryer continues tumbling and operating as normal but element will not turn back on.
1 Answer Hello Shawn. You will need to test all thermostats and make sure they are resetting properly. Also, if they are closed, you will need to see if the motor is failing to pass the power through to the heater. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
1 Answer Hello Tammy. Test the safety thermostat and the door switch on the unit. Also, make sure belt is not broken. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Mike November 06, 2014 for Model Number ge dpxh46ea3cc When I turn dryer on it runs maybe 1-2 minutes and then shuts off. What could be the problem? I already clean a bunch of lint out from the front and back. I also vacuumed out the vent tube and blower motor.
1 Answer Hello Mike. If it has to be off for a few minutes to start back, then the motor WE17X10001 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Paul May 18, 2013 for Model Number GTDP301GL1WS After 10 minutes or so, the dryer just shuts down, have to restart. Already cleaned the lint out of the system.
1 Answer Hello Paul. If the unit shuts down and has to sit for a few minuites to restart, the motor is over heating and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Wayne February 26, 2013 for Model Number dvl223eb4ww Dryer turns on but no heat just cold air. Could it be the heating element?
1 Answer Wayne, The heating element WE14X10015 could be the cause of the unit not heating. You will want to do a continuity check on the heating element. No continuity means that it is bad. Also check the thermal fuses and thermostat for continuity. Again, if there is no continuity then the part has failed and will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Kurt January 20, 2013 for Model Number nvl333eb4cc I turn the dryer on and it just tumbles and never heats up. I assume it is the heating element what else could it be?
1 Answer Hello Kurt, check your thermal limiter WE04X10094 and safety thermostat WE4X757. Here's a link that may help you further. Thanks! http://www.appliancepartspros.com/repair-help/dryer-repair-help.html#electric Read More...
Nick C. July 04, 2012 for Model Number DPR483EAOWW My dryer runs very hot. It burns clothes even when set on delicates low heat. The top of the dryer is very hot to the touch. Which part needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Hello Nick, This sounds like you either have a short to ground in the heating circuit or a stuck cycling thermostat. If the thermostat is stuck, it will heat to the high limit thermostat opening temperature which is about 260°F. The best way to tell which is the cause of the issue is if the unit stays hot after you turn it off. This is the indication of a short to ground. If it's cycling up to or about 260°F, the cycling thermostat WE04X10028 has stuck contacts. Read More...
Judit N. January 17, 2012 for Model Number DCL333EA0WW When we set the dryer to any one of the "cotton" settings the pointer does not move. The dryer gives out heat, it dries the clothes, but won't turn off automatically, and when we finally opened the door to shut it off manually, it was really hot inside. which parts shall we change? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Judit. Test the black wires going to the timer motor and see if power is there when the dryer is turned on. If so, you will need to replace the timer WE04X10042 on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Edy December 29, 2011 for Model Number DVL223EB4WW My dryer will turn on but not heat we took it apart and found that there was lint everwhere. After cleaning all the lint out I was told that it could be the safety thermostat. Could this be correct?
1 Answer Hello Edy. Yes, the thermostat WE4X757 should read closed for continuity. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
