Paul October 29, 2013 for Model Number GE DBXR463GD3WW When I set the dryer to more dry cottons, it completes the cycle but the clothes are not dry. When it is set to timed drying, the clothes are dry. Is it the timer?
1 Answer Hello Paul. You need to check and see if the vent is clogged and need to be cleaned on the unit. It will cause this issue if it is clogged. Read More...
Jill October 08, 2013 for Model Number DBXR463ED1WW Dryer heats fine, but the timer doesn't move at all, regardless of the cycle selected. Simply a bad timer?
1 Answer Hello Jill. Is there power coming to the timer motor? If so, and the motor does not advance, you will need to replace the timer. 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...
Joe October 06, 2013 for Model Number GE DRYER DBXR463ED2WW The dyer does not fully dry the clothes at the end of the cycle.
1 Answer Joe, The first thing to check is the dryer venting from the blower wheel to the outside of the home. If there is a restriction it will cause longer drying times. Read More...
Rick July 02, 2013 for Model Number DBSR453EB2WW My dryer won't start. I tried jumping the wires as stated in the questions and answers section, but had no luck. After checking the connections and wires, it started briefly and the timer seemed to be working, but I lost power again. Is my timer bad?
1 Answer Hello Rick. Look for loose connections and if none are found, replace the timer. Read More...
Dirk May 24, 2013 for Model Number dx4500ee1ww I have a dx4500ee1ww dryer 240v. No matter which drying cycle I choose (easy care, timed or cottons) the unit does not stop and turn off at the end of the cycle. The drier continues right through into the next cycle? Does this require an entire new timer or just a resistor...can I test the timer?
1 Answer Dirk, This issue would be caused by a faulty timer and the timer would need to be replaced. Read More...
Walt December 17, 2012 for Model Number GE-Dryer, DBSR453EB3WW The dyer does not fully dry the clothes and the machine turns off.(The dyer does finish the drying cycle) The dyer will not turn back on until it cools off completely. This only happens with heavy loads. I have cleaned and checked the exhaust pipe and it is clean with no obstructions. Any idea what part I need to correct the problem? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Walt. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the motor is bad and will need to be replaced. The motor is overheating and needing to cool down to run again. Read More...

1 Answer Dave, Have you checked the buzzer WE4M318 for a "closed" circuit, with a multi meter, or applied 120 VAC across the two terminals to see if it buzzes ? Ot the timer contacts for the buzzer circuit at the timer(t to s) ? The buzzer operation is accomplished through the neutral circuit at the motor switch as the motor is "ramping down" when power is turned off through the timer motor, when the timer reaces the off position. So you may have a broken or loose wire between the motor and buzzer, or the motor switch/motor is failing. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Ed February 13, 2012 for Model Number DBSR453GBOWW ( part WE4M271 ) Dryer will not start. When checking panel parts all are good but on the timer we get no readings (should be 2000-3000 ohms) when running a test. According to our info that means the timer unit needs to be replaced. Does this make sense? Would replacing the timer unit be enough to get the dryer running again?
1 Answer Hi Ed. The timer part # WE4M271 is the "heart" of the unit. If you take the start Switch part # WE4X881 brown and the red wires wire and momentarily jump them together, then try to start the unit and it starts then the switch is bad. If the door switch does not work the unit will not start either. The brn/ Yellow and the white wire. You can jump these 2-wires together same as above to see if this will allow it to start. One at a time jumped together to see if they are a possibility before the timer change out. There is a hi- limit thermal fuse on the rear heater diffuser assy., On the front at the lower area. Part # WE4M182. Temp. jump these wires together to see if it comes on now. There is another hi-limit thermostat fuse Part # WE4M80 above the rear wall area may need checked also. They all need to normally be closed. If anyone of the fuses are open,then you need to check for a restricted vent system and make sure the outside vent cap is opening and closing so the rain or the night dampness dont get back into the vent. Thank You. Read More...
Mark February 04, 2012 for Model Number DHDSR46EE1WW I have a buzzing noise coming from the timer/selector switch. It comes on in any selection I make even though the clothes aren't dry. Even comes on during the fluff cycle. Any clues?
1 Answer Hello Mark. Based on the information you provided, it sound slike the timer WE4M271 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
