My GE dryer model DX4500EA1WW will not stop drying. For start I thought it was the timer( because it stay at the same spot it start), but after a brand new part replaced, it still act the same. the timer seem to stuck wherever it start. I’m now not sure that it’s the timer or anything else, please help.
Put the dryer timer on the TIMED DRY cycle, Does it move on this cycle? If it does, Pull it apart and check the heating element, I’ll bet that 1/2 of the element is broken!!!
In deed the timed dry cycle is working perfectly good. Only the automatic part that’s not function. I’ll check the element and report back.
Big THANKs,
Hello, I have a GE DWXR473ET electric dryer that has simple and all mechanical switches/controls with no humidity sensor or any complicated electronics, etc. The only problem it recently started having is that the timer won’t run for the 2 automatic drying functions. So if the main function switch is at the position for automatic cotton drying cycle, the dryer will just keep running nonstop till I turn the switch to interrupt it. However, it runs great for both “Extra Care” and the “Timed Dry” operations. All other switches and internal thermal switches have been tested functional. I even replaced the main function selector / timer switch and it didn’t fix the problem. So that might indicate that the problem is not with the timer itself (which I had considered to be the main culprit). I just cannot imagine what else can be defective to cause the problem. I wonder if you could give me some advice as to what might cause the problem so I can buy the right part. Any suggestions or opinions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
