Jason L. December 08, 2015 My GE spacesaver washer recently will stop after the wash cycle. I would have to go and repeatedly press the start/pause button sometimes once sometime multiple times for the rinse cycle to start. Now recently once I do get it to the the final spin cycle it wont stop on its own until I manually pause/stop it.
1 Answer Hello Jason, I'm sorry but you will need to provide the model number from the units' I.D. tag so we can look up the wiring configuration and give you pertinent information. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Bill December 21, 2014 for Model Number GTUP270EM1WW Dryer stopped heating but still runs. Checked breakers, validated 240 to plug, 240 to terminal block, validated both dryer fuses have continuity... checked all 4 thermostats and all show continuity (but i don't get anything across the other contacts for the thermostat part... thought i should get some kind of reading like 5-7.00 ohms)... and that's on both the Inlet Control and the Outlet Control thermostat. So those don't seem bad... wife said the high-heat cotton setting on the timer wasn't working... so now i'm to that. The control timer is WE4M521... is there a way to test and see if this is the problem? Only other possibility is the heater coils themselves... right?
1 Answer Bill, There are 2 components other than the thermostats which would cause the heating element not to work. First is the motor and second the timer. The best option is to disconnect the power to the unit and access the heating element. Disconnect one wire that is going to the heating element, preferably the one on the thermostat side. Plug the unit back up and using a multimeter you will want to turn the dryer on and test for 120 vac at the terminal on the heater where the wire was disconnected. What this will do is eliminate the heater element itself and the motor. If there is 120 vac at this point then you know the heater is good and the motor is good because the other 120 vac coming through the thermostats is the timer side of the circuit. If there is not 120 vac at that point then you will want to test the other terminal on the heater and check for 120 vac. If there is not 120 vac then the motor would be bad and if there is 120 vac then the heater would be the issue. If there is 120 vac at each point then the heater is faulty. Read More...
