Sathya May 16, 2016 for Model Number GLDP280GD0WS I ordered timer control for my dryer GLDP280GD0WS. All the connecting wires seem to match the old timer, but there are 2 slots in the 'C' in the old model, one for the light brown wire and another one for dark brown wire. The dark brown wire connects to the start switch.But I have only one slot in the C in the new Timer. I read from the one of the answers to the users about this issue and you have mentioned that some sort of special connector for connecting both the wires that goes in the C slot. Where can I get it and could you elaborate on it? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Sathya, This is called a piggyback terminal. This one TJMA02896-1 prevents having to cut off the old terminal and crimp on a new connector. Read More...
Kristen August 02, 2015 for Model Number GLDP280ED0WS I bought part WE04X20089 to replace the timer on my electric GE dryer. The part number printed on the old timer is the same as the new one. But the new one has only one lead at the C position, while my old one has two brown wires connecting at lead C (one light brown one darker brown). One of the brown wires goes to the start switch. Not entirely sure where the other goes. What do I do with the second wire? Do I have the wrong timer?
1 Answer Kristen, You will pull off the brown wires and they should be connected together by a special connector in which one has a spade terminal coming off the side of it. This allows 2 wires to attach to one terminal. Read More...
Anthony R January 14, 2015 for Model Number GTDP350GMOWS Purchased a new starter button switch but it didn't work also so I bypassed the switch and it worked fine with the timer and dial. I notice now the timer does not click at every setting but the dryer does function. Is this problem only with the timer or is there another malfunction with the motor brought on by not using the starter button function? After each use I turn off the power with an extension switch button.
1 Answer Anthony, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty timer in which the timer would need to be replaced. Read More...
Dave F. June 23, 2014 for Model Number Unknown I purchased part number GEN WE04X20089 (Timer) and was an idiot. Took off wire connector and don't know where to put them. Timer has A, B, C and H on one side and X, T, F and C on the other. I have brown, red, yellow, etc wires. Can you help?
1 Answer Hello Dave, If you would please provide us with the model number from the units' I.D. tag, we will be able to pull the wiring information on your model so we can help you. Read More...
Ruth N May 04, 2014 for Model Number DWSR483EG8WW Our dryer timer knob will not start the dryer unless you turn it backwards. We bought a replacement part #WEO4X20089 and put it on. The dryer will still not start unless we turn the timer backwards and it will not stop when time is done. It doesn't seem to advance after setting the time.
1 Answer Ruth, You will want to check the resistor on the unit and make sure that it is good. The resistance of the resistor should be approximately 4500 ohms. If the resistor WE4M255 does not have the proper resistance it could potentially cause this issue. Read More...
R@Sycamore March 12, 2014 for Model Number DWSR483EG7WW The dryer stops in the middle of a cycle and/or only runs for about 10-15 minuets before it quits. You have to fiddle with the time/cycle selector and find a sweet spot to get it to start again. Really thinking timer is needing replaced but just wanting a second opinion. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello. Yes from what you are describing it does sound like the timer part# WE04X20089 will need to be replaced. Read More...
Lisa October 03, 2012 for Model Number DWSR483EG3WW I need to buy this timer plas. shaft and the dryer timer knob assembly (part #AP3995088). Do I need to buy the knob insert as well?
Bruce September 11, 2012 for Model Number dwsr483eg8ww My timer is very stiff and the dryer is not heating. I have checked all of the thermostats and heating element. All have continuity across them. I have also checked the wall outlet for 240 volts it was also good. I dont know what else to do besides change the timer please help!
1 Answer Hi Bruce. Have you bypassed the start switch part # WE4M519? Remove the wires and use a jumper wire in each wire terminal to test to see if the unit starts now. Do not let it run too long, it is just a test. The door switch part # WE4M415 can be bypassed the same way with the wire on the common switch terminal to the one that is on the NC terminal. It sends the neutral to the motor windings. Thank You. Read More...
Gaby August 18, 2012 for Model Number dwsr483eg8ww The clothes selctor knob is just turning stiffly and not "clicking" and catching in place at the place I want it to. Is this the part I am going to need to replace AP3994848?
1 Answer Gaby, Based on the information you supplied and tthe parts information screens, yes, you'll need a new timer WE04X20089. Thanks Read More...
Robin August 03, 2012 for Model Number dwsr483eg8ww I ordered a new timer for dryer, part #we4m356 which is same part #i am replacing. I received it from you today. I waited to detach each wire on old timer and attach onto new timer one at a time as to not be confused on which wire goes on which post. However, the "C" terminal on the old timer has 3 posts with wires attached and the new timer you sent only has 2 posts. Why? What do I do? I have a wire from the dryer with no post to attach it to. Help Thank you for taking my question.
1 Answer Hello Robin. Unplug the wires and see if one is piggy backed onto the other terminal. If so, that is how you will install on the new timer WE04X20089. Read More...
