Wanda July 09, 2021 for Model Number GTDP490ED7WS Is it possible to replace just the knob stem in the timer instead of the whole timer?
1 Answer Hello Wanda, I'm sorry but the timer shaft is made into the internal workings of the timer assembly. I'm sorry but it is not possible to replace the shaft/stem only. Read More...
Alphapnnstt5 October 18, 2020 for Model Number GTDP490ED7WS I installed a new timer and everything seems to work except I Beleve I switched a wire. When I turn the timer when it hits the wrinkle care it starts the drier until it hits back to off and it will turn off. It does not matter if it is on or off when it runs. If it’s running it goes through the cycle no matter the setting. Are the wires just reversed?
1 Answer Hello Alphapnnstt5, the manufacturer has not supplied a wiring schematic for this model. We are unable to advise on the correct timer wiring. Read More...
Deb June 11, 2020 for Model Number GTDP490GD0WS The time switch knob turns (no clicking occurs when turned)and seems too easy, but when I hit the start button doesn't work. Which part should I replace? on switch, or timer.
1 Answer Deb, There is a fuse on top of the heater that if fails will keep the unit from starting. WE4M182 A continuity test will need to be done on the fuse. Should have two brown wires going to it. If the fuse has continuity then you can check the timer for continuity between B and C on a timed dry cycle and should have continuity. This is testing the contacts inside the timer and no power is needed for this test. If the fuse is good and the timer tests good then the motor is the most likely suspect. Read More...

Chuck F February 10, 2020 for Model Number GRDN510GM0WS My GE Gas dryer starts and runs normally about 10-15 minutes, then, shuts off. It doesn't trip any circuit breakers, but, will start again after about 10 minutes. Everything seems to work ok as far as heating and tumbling. My guess is maybe a timer, but, would like some more suggestions about what else to consider. FYI - I recently replaced the front drum bearings and accidently caused a short in a wire when I put it back together that tripped a breaker. I fixed the "short" and the the dryer has ran perfectly for more than two weeks until this latest issue. Thanks
1 Answer Chuck F., it sounds like the motor is getting hot and shutting down. When it cools down some it will start working again. The part number for the motor is WE17X22217 Read More...

Woodrow L. June 21, 2019 for Model Number GTDP490ED5WS I need to know which wires go to which terminals.
1 Answer Hello Woodrow, As per the tech sheet on the model provided, you will need to connect the wires in the following manner: Orange or Orange with a black trace to terminal A. Red to terminal B. Double Brown to terminal C. Pink to terminal H. Black from the timer motor and White from the board to terminal T. Black from the buzzer to terminal S. Triple Yellow to terminal X. Black from timer motor, Red from push-to-start switch, and Orange with black trace from board to terminal D. Read More...
Luke October 22, 2018 I want to use a Norm Pacific TMD14M08 to replace my Norm Pacific TMD14M10 dryer timer. Both 115VAC/60HZ but a slight difference in configuration with respect to the wires. Can I used the timer I have to replace the old one even though they differ slightly? If so, will I lose any functionality? Thanks,
1 Answer Luke, Without the model # we can't look up parts and specs but usually, the parts are specific to the model number. So the chances of harness connecting or functionality could be an issue. Read More...
Gary June 27, 2018 for Model Number GHDP490EF5WW I am replacing the timer on GE Dryer model # GHDP490EF5ww and purchased part #WE4M527. Everything looks the same with the exception of the C terminal which has only 1 terminal, the original has 2. Will this work with only 1, if so which wire? Do I need to return part? Thanks
1 Answer Gary, The connection at the C terminal is a piggyback connection in which it is one connector but has a spade coming off the side that would allow a second wire to be attached. You will pull off both wires and they will be able to be plugged into the C terminal. Read More...
