Brand:GE
Model Number:DBXR453GT5WW
Main Symptom:stars without using start button and no heat
What happens & when: just replaced old motor with WE17X10010
The motor was replaced due to a worn drive shaft and the blower wheel would slide to the end of the shaft rubbing the housing. I replaced the motor and after putting the dryer back together the dryer starts as soon as you select a drying cycle without using the start switch and then there is no heat. I took the new motor out and put the old motor back in and dryer works as normal using the start button and heat comes on drying the clothes and cycle stops when dry. Does the replacement motor have different wiring compared to the old motor. I’m perplexed.
