Jessica May 26, 2017 Our dryer has not been stopping the last couple of times we have run it. The timer runs to about 10 minutes remaining and then doesn't advance anymore. I was told to replace the timer, but someone else told me that if I replace the timer, I have to replace the resistor as well. Is this true?
1 Answer Jessica, It is not necessary to replace the resistor when replacing the timer. Some people do replace it at the same time but do not have to. Read More...
Ronnie February 19, 2017 for Model Number GTDX100EM1WW Dryer timer does not advance and dryer does not shut off by its self.
1 Answer Ronnie, This issue would most likely be caused by the timer of the unit. You can test the resistance of the resistor for 4.5K ohms to make sure that it is good but the timer is most likely issue. Read More...
David October 27, 2016 for Model Number dbxr463eg6ww The dryer timer goes around but does not stop at the same spot all the time. The knob is good and the timer itself is only about 4 years old.
1 Answer Hello David. If it works sometimes and sometimes it does not, it sounds like the timer WE4M533 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Corey H October 22, 2016 for Model Number GTDP300EM1WS My timer now turns freely without any clicking, and the dryer will not start. Do I need a new timer or a resistor?
1 Answer Hello Corey. Make sure the knob is not broke for the timer. If not, then you will need to replace the timer on the unit. Read More...
Mario September 03, 2016 for Model Number GTUP240EM1WW My dryer won't work if I stop pressing the push to start button. I notice that once I stop pressing the button the plates inside won't stay connected change the push to start and keep doing the same could be the resistor?
1 Answer Mario, The push to start switch will not be the issue if the dryer is running when the switch is held. This issue would be the centrifugal switch on the motor that is faulty and the motor will need to be replaced. Read More...
Renita D July 28, 2016 for Model Number GE electric dryer Model #GTDX180EDWW Hello- I know that my timer and knob is broken and my husband bought a replacement part. Now we aren't getting any juice. Any thoughts? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Renita. You will need to trace the power and see where your losing it 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...
Irvin L. July 09, 2016 for Model Number GE Dryer Model DX4500 on one cycle the dryer will not shut itself off but the other cycles work ok.
2 Answers Irvin, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty contact in the timer and would need to have the timer replaced. Read More...
Irvin L. July 09, 2016 for Model Number GE Dryer Model DX4500 on one cycle the dryer will not shut itself off but the other cycles work ok.
2 Answers Irvin, It's most likely an "auto advance" selection that is not working properly. But since all the other cycles work, you need to check the venting and vent hood, A air flow problem could cause the thermostat to cycle improperly and not supply power to the timer motor and it won't advance and shut off. It could be a weak or faulty thermostat as well, but we'll know better, once we know what cycle is malfunctioning, and if cleaning the venting and hood helps to solve the problem. Read More...
Arvil June 14, 2016 for Model Number DX4500EA3WW SET TIMER TO DRY, MACHINE RUNS BUT DOES NOT HEAT AND THE TIMER KNOB JUST STAYS IN SAME POSITION AND DOES NOT MOVE. QUESTION IS: IF TIMER IS BAD WILL IT CAUSE IT NOT TO HEAT?
