Question about GE DWSR483EBWW Electric Dryer

My GE Dryer model DWSR483EA1ww will not stop & doesn't dry quick

My GE Dryer modle DWSR483EA1ww will not stop rotating unless I open the door. Regardless of which setting I turn it to,the knob never moves, nor does the dryer stop running until I open the door. Also, the dryer takes forever to dry even the smallest load of laundry. I have had it for 5 years. Help!

First thing you should do is check the flow of your vent, a clogged vent can cause all your problems check it outside while the unit is running you should get really good flow compare it to the flow of the dryer with the vent hose off the dryer completly. they should be fairly close or just run it with out the vent hooked up to the vent if you have an electric but not with a gas dryer

My Maytag Neptune dryer doesn't stop unless I open the dryer door.

You will be needing to replace the timer assembly, which is the part that has all the wires attached and is found inside the top of the machine. It is what the dial is fastened to.
Be blessed.

PROBLEM WITH AMANA DRYER

If you have to"push start" the motor to get it going, you will need to replace the motor. The windings have become weak and cannot get the initial start cycle going. Here is the motor to order.

The part comes with a 365 day, any part, any reason return policy.

If you hear the motor humming and not starting at all it most likely has a severe friction problem with the drum or motor. It could possibly have some type of garment jamming the blower wheel preventing the motor from starting too.

Open the dryer door and manually rotate the dryer drum counter clockwise (CCW). It should take very little effort to rotate the drum. If it's hard to rotate that could explain why the motor hums instead of starting up. If it turns freely, shut the door and see if will start. If it still hums and not start it may have bad motor or a low voltage supply to the motor.

Un-plug dryer. Remove screws from front panel into dryer top. (just inside the door, at the top of the opening) Swing top up and remove screw near top of front panel on each side. Tilt front panel forward and lift off, set to the side. (leave wires attatched) Pull drum ahead about 4 inches. Do not remove belt. (it's a little tough to get the drum past the sides of the dryer) Remove the old rear drum bearing and replace it. If I remember correctly, it is a part number WE3X37. Replace drum. Check the front drum support slides on the front panel. They should be about 1/8 inch thick. If the rear bearing was squeaking, they may need replacing also. Finish re-assembly, plug back in and test.

The door is interlocked to stop the drum from turning and.or causing an injury to anyone opening it.. The timer is the control system that switches the drier and heater on to dry clothes but it does that by energizing a relay /contactor.. You probably have a bad relay or your timer is bad and not de-energizing that relay to stop the cycle... If you provide specific model number of your GE dryer.. that might help in diagnosing your problem...

you need to replace the inner plastic "shell" and the teflon pieces that the drum rides on. The dryer drum has eaten thru the teflon slides, and has probably started eating the shell away also.

About $40 in parts available on line will fix the problem.

Whirlpool dryer - element heats, then shuts off quickly

Sounds like you have a stopped up vent on your home, when the vent gets stopped up the dryer can't circulate the air properly in the dryer and causes it to get to hot which causes the high limit thermostat to kill power to the element. If you need more help with this visit the link below:

Hi, I have Saeco Royal Cappuccino. It says 'ventilate'. When I push Hot Water button the water flows and the flow I guess is normal. I've changed the boiler, waterflow meter and pump (system 2), but it still says 'ventilate'. During the Test Mode I'm pushing a combination of buttons to start system 2. The LCD screen then shows the flow value, which ii about 8-12 (should be higher, I know). When I check system 1 the value is about 30. What can be the problem? Regards, Patrick
