David G. June 06, 2011 for Model Number DBXR453ET3WW Understanding the resister may not be powereing the timer.. But the timer still works on "Timed Dry" only and takes two 80 min cycles to dry a load on high heat setting. What now?
1 Answer Hello David. It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly. Hope this helps. Read More...
David G. May 23, 2011 for Model Number DBXR453ET3WW The GE Timer (Part Number: AP2042593) on my dryer only times out to the "OFF" position using the "TIMED DRY" setting. It does NOT time out in the "AUTOMATIC COTTONS" or "AUTOMATIC PERMANENT PRESS" positions. Has the timer "burned out" in those positions? Can I get by with using just the "TIMED DRY" setting?
1 Answer Hello David. This unit has a resistor, part WE4M186 that regulates the voltage to the timer. This is part 80 on the control panel diagram. I will include a link to this diagram in this message. If it fails, the timer may stop advancing. If that part tests ok, you may want to test the element itself to ensure it is properly connected and there are no issues with grounding. I hope this helps!http://www.appliancepartspros.com/sect/t/n/k/tnk6tc6hng.gif Read More...
