Lori May 08, 2016 for Model Number DBXR300EG0WS Hello: on my dryer the timer seems not to want to turn at times and when applied pressure the plastic stem that the knob is attaches to has striped for me. Will I need to order the whole timer ?
1 Answer Lori, First remove the timer knob WE1M654 and check the center area and "D" shaped area and make sure the area isn't damaged,cracked or broken. If the knob is OK, then Yes you will need to replace the WE4M533, based on your post information. The parts are in stock and available at this time. Thanks, Read More...
Jasen April 29, 2016 for Model Number NBXR333EG2WW Electric dryer works great, heats, drum turns, etc... When dryer is running and door is opened, drum stops turning, but the heating coil remains on. BIG fire hazard! Why does this happen?
1 Answer Jasen, There are a couple of possibilities, check the element and wires, if either is "shorted" to the chassis ground, the element will remain energized(120 VAC) and can heat constantly. The motor centrifugal switch has a "heat circuit" that closes and supply's the L2 power to the element. If the switch heat circuit is stuck "closed" the element will remain energized and heat as well. Read More...
Jose April 12, 2016 for Model Number DBSR453EB3WW Could the "timer resistor" make the dryer not heat?? disconnected wires i get no measurement on meter. I have checked Both Heating Elements and the 4 thermostats and they all have resistance.
1 Answer Hello Jose. The resistor shouldn't prevent the unit from heating. Ohm out the timer resistor WE4M255 and it should read around 4500 ohms. If not, replace the resistor. 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 Raymond. If the timer gets to the end of the cycle and the dryer keeps on going, you will need to order and replace the timer WP3976577 on the unit. Read More...
Shelley February 15, 2016 for Model Number GTDP180GD0WW The timer on the dryer will only work set at 60 minute spot on the dial and ONLY if pressure is applied to the dial , you push on it them your hear the tick tick tick and hit start and it will come on, otherwise nothing. I replaced timer with part from here a year and a half ago, could it be timer again ? Help! Thx
1 Answer Hello Shelley. Check and make sure the timer knob is good. If so, then the timer is bad again and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Jane October 06, 2015 for Model Number DBXR463EG5ww The timer started rotating & not always engaging - but tonight it won't engage at all. I was just rotating it until I heard it click in and then I could turn the start button to make it work. It has gotten worse and tonight it never "clicks." I'm thinking we need to replace the timer and the knobs but want to check. It isn't a worn out knob as I get the same reaction if I remove the knob and turn the timer with pliers. Does this sound like the right plan?
1 Answer Hello Jane. You need to check and see if the timer knob WE1M654 is broke and needs to be replaced. Read More...
Booth September 27, 2015 for Model Number DBSR463EG6WW Dryer was working fine earlier today. Went to start next load and dryer just makes a buzzing noise. Could it be the resistor?
1 Answer Hello Booth. Turn the drum and see if it is in a bind. If not, and the buzz is the motor, replace the motor on the unit. Read More...
John September 02, 2015 for Model Number DJXR433EG0WW Dryer does not come on at all. Belt switch is okay, door switch is okay. Could the problem be the timer resistor?
1 Answer Hello John. You will need to check the thermal fuse WE4M137 and see if it is bad and will need to be replaced 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...
Chen Y June 28, 2015 for Model Number GE Dryer mod # DBSR453EB3WW When the timer is set in Cottons/Automatic Cycle, the timer won't advance and drying continue. Other 4 cycles are working fine. Thanks
1 Answer Chen, The most likely cause for the unit to not operate in the automatic cycle would be the bias thermostat being faulty. The part number for the thermostat is WE4M216. Read More...
Bill March 01, 2015 for Model Number GTDP180EDOWW Our dryer is less than 3yrs old, the timer knob can be turned completely around but will not engage, the start button also can not be pushed in. Is this a problem with the timer motor???
1 Answer Bill, On the timer knob not engaging to move the dial to the desired selection then the issue would most likely be with the knob. As far as the push to start switch not engaging to start the unit then the issue will be with the start switch which would need to be replaced. Read More...
