Juan October 25, 2013 for Model Number DBXR463EG6WW What are the model parts that I need to replace my timer and timer knob? Knob is broken and the shaft arm is worn out.

Lynn October 11, 2013 for Model Number DHDSR46GG7WW I purchased a timer plastic shaft we4m357. I don't remember where to place the wires. The letters on the timer are c, b, a, x, t, f. The wires are black, white, b&w, violet and one of them are hook together (2) either black or brown hard to tell. The paper work with the dryer shows all the parts but doesn't indicate this info as far as I can tell.
1 Answer Lynn, The wiring for the timer is as follows: The A terminal will have the purple wire which goes to the selector switch. The B terminal will have a black wire which is the L1 in. The F terminal would be white which goes to the gas coils. The S would be a black wire from the End of Cycle signal. X would be the Yellow black or Black and white to the motor switch. C would have what looks to be a double brown which goes to the start switch and motor. Read More...
Rudy July 23, 2013 I need a spring for a GE coin operated dryer timer. The model number is DDC4500SKMWH. The spring number should be 008003. Wondering if you have this part? Thank you.
Holidaynapril May 21, 2013 for Model Number gtdp301elows The timer on our dryer seems "stripped" as in it just turns with no clicks or resistance all the way around the dial. I'm assuming this means the whole timer needs replaced. It doesn't seem to be the knob since the knob still stays on the dial. Does this seem correct?
1 Answer Hello holidaynapril. Pull the knod off the timer shaft and look and see if it is cracked or broken on the unit. Read More...
Kenny May 16, 2013 for Model Number DX4500EG6WW I recently replaced my dryer timer with part number WE4M364. After installing I noticed that the timer is about 90 degrees off of what the backsplash panel shows. After reading a previous post, I noticed that one suggestion is the timer is in backwards. I checked and to my knowledge that isn't the issue. I looked at the wiring diagram and it appears all the wires are I the right place. I double checked with GE and they assured that it is the correct replacement part. The knob insert is inside the knob. Is there a way to adjust the timer shaft? Or am I missing something simple? Thanks for your advice.
1 Answer Kenny, There is no way to adjust the timer shaft. You will want to check the knob to make sure that it is not cracked or broken. There is a possibility that the knob could be cracked and the insert shifted which would cause the knob to sit improperly on the shaft. Read More...
Jason April 27, 2013 for Model Number dhdsr46egoww I ordered a timer switch and the one that came in doesn't have a lug to hook the ground wire to do I have to have a lug on the timer or do I not have to hook up the ground wire
1 Answer Jason, You can attach the ground wire to any metal surface in the control panel. Read More...
Joe March 24, 2013 for Model Number DBSR46E3G1WW My dryer is working ok. Looked at list of parts, including the knob and timer assembly. The knob is ok; not broken. The problem is that the dryer does not turn off and on at right dial setting. It goes through the cycles but turns off with the dial in between settings instead of correct off position. Do I need a timer or is there something else wrong?
1 Answer Hello Joe, The knob could be installed backwards or in the wrong position on the timer shaft. It could also be the incorrect knob if it has ever been replaced before. I would suspect the knob WE1M654 first. The second thing I would suspect is the knob insert WH01X10106, since without the insert, the knob will not fit on the timer shaft properly.

Lorene December 29, 2012 for Model Number dbsr463eg4ww A man was here to fix my washer and then the dryer went. Well the timer will not move 20min 30min so on and the heat is so low. He told us that it is the timer it is like it is only working on 110 not 220. The back plate in side the dryer will get hot if on long time but it will not dry any thing. All vents are clean.
1 Answer Hello Lorene, The timer on unit is only going to work off 120 vac not 220. You can test the timer using a multi-meter. On Normal time cycle you should have 120vac between the following terminals: T to X (timer), B to C (Motor) and A to B (Heater). If you have 120 vac to the heater but not heating properly then you will want to check the thermostats, thermal fuse and the heater to make sure that they are good. With 120 vac to the timer motor which is 2 black wires coming off motor and motor is not advancing then you would need a new timer. Read More...
Sergio October 26, 2012 for Model Number DBXR463EG1WW My dryer doesn't start. I ordered the start swith from you. I replaced it but still the machine doesn't work. Please let me know what could be the problem.
1 Answer Hello Sergio, I would check the door switchWE4M415. You want to use a multi meter across the terminals on the door switch. With the door switch pushed in, it should show the switch in a closed position. With the door switch not pushed in it should read open. 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...
Rod August 08, 2012 for Model Number DBSR463EG6WW I just replaced the start switch on this model and it did not fix the problem could it be the timer unit AP3994849? My wife said that the start switch would on start the unit periodically. Once it got going it worked ok for quite some time but not, no matter where I turn the dial on the timer it will not start, well it did start a couple of times on the de-wrinkle at first but not now. I need to know if there is a good chance that the timer is the problem. It runs smooth and quiet when it does start so I do not believe it is the motor. please help before I am hanged
1 Answer Hello Rod. It could be the timer or the door switch will also prevent the dryer from starting and running properly on the unit. Read More...
