Geocav January 30, 2021 for Model Number GE Dryer DSXH43EA0WW Having a problem with the starter dial switch - I have replaced two starter switches. After the last replacement the starter sometimes does not work - when it doesn't work - almost like it doesn't click. If I leave it alone for a couple of hours - most of the time I'm able to start the dryer. Could it be something else besides the starter or just a poor part? Thanks for your help. GeoCav
1 Answer GeoCav, If you are getting a humming at the motor like it is trying to start but won't then it is possible to have a faulty motor. Also, check the door switch to make sure that the switch is good. Read More...
Carol E August 25, 2016 for Model Number GTDP490ED7WS I ACCIDENTLY LET THE WIRES ON THE BACK OF THE SETTINGS CONTROL BOX TOUCH METAL AS I WAS OPENING AND LEANING THE PANEL IT WAS ATTACHED TO , TO THE INSIDE OF THE METAL BACK OF MY DRYER PANEL AND IT SPARKED. I UNPLUGGED THE DRYER SO I COULD REPLACE THE DRYER SETTING SWITCH CONTROL BOX AND AFTER REPLACING THAT WITH A NEW ONE I PLUGGED IN THE DRYER AND IT WILL NOT TURN ON.... DOES THIS MEAN I ZAPPED SOMETHING? I CHECKED MY BREAKER ON MY HOUSE AND THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. WHAT SHOULD I DO? THANK YOU SO MUCH!! PLEASE REPLY IN A TEXT OR EMAIL .
1 Answer Hello Carol. In this case, with it being shorted, your going to have to use a meter and test and see where your losing power at on the unit. 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...
