We have a GE electric tumble dryer. when pressing the start button the dryer will hum and not tumble. If I turn the drum by hand, close the door and push start, it works.
from what I've been reading it is either the motor or starter capacitor. how do I determine which, and how much are the replacement parts for both?
if it's neither, any suggestions on what the issue may be? please help:(

Here are your parts Parts for DBLR333 - AppliancePartsPros.comYour model number seems to be missing several digits at the end of it. Choose the correct one from the Matching Model Numbers. Odds are that the motor will be the same for all units in this series but I cannot guarantee that.

If the unit needs a lot of other parts it may not be worth fixing Also this is a good time to check/clean your vent system. |
