I have a ge dryer model DSXH47EG0WW which turns on but has no heat. I have checked and re-trip the breaker cleaned the vent and back of dryer but still no heat. I was even able to open the back panel and ring out the two heater element connections to see if the element itself was broken?any help would be appreciated.thanks brian

See if any troubleshooting steps apply in page 21 of the free online manual below. Verify electric circuit breaker in your home is not tripped off.

May want to contact vendor GE for support.

I would replace parts. It still is cheaper than a new unit. So get the new control panel and do it yourself and save money. The average life of a dyer is dependant only on when the owner gives up. I just serviced on last week that was 25 years old.

Well it is not the fuse because it still runs just no heat. I would first try to reset the breaker and make sure 240 volts is getting to the dryer. Dryer motors work on 120 volts. The heater needs 240 to opperate. Sometimes the breaker will trip on the high load heat side or simply wear out. If that is good then you must check the element, To do so you need to remove the drum. You start by raising the top then getting the front off; then you take the belt idler loose and yank out the drum. The heater element is on the back wall of the dryer.

this issue is almost always a breaker tripped, or restricted air flow. Verify air flow by removing hose at back of unit, and form opinion of air flow; hook back up and see if you have the same air flow outside the building. Any restriction will trip thermal limiters (auto resetting).

Breaker needs to be turned FULLY off and back on, then test for heat.

Hi,


Make sure you check these to fix the problem.

• Check to see whether there's power getting to the dryer. Is it plugged in? Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers--your dryer uses two fuses or circuit breakers. The dryer could tumble but not heat if only one of the two fuses is blown. If you have circuit breakers, one of the two circuit breakers can trip, even if the two for the dryer are connected.

• Often a dryer heating element burns out, but doesn't trip the circuit breaker or blow a fuse. The heating element is simply a long coil of special wire. You can check it for continuity with an ohm meter. No continuity means the element is bad and you need to replace it--electric heating elements aren't repairable.

• A common problem is for the main wiring connection from the house, at the dryer, to burn and break its connection. Because the dryer can still tumble with partial power, the connection may be only partially defective. You may need to replace both the power cord to the dryer and the terminal block inside the dryer that the wire is attached to.

Thank you

if its in the front of dryer you need the front brg and felt replace and the 4 slides . if in rear of drum replace rear barg and do the front . may also need a belt and idler . dryer sounds like if done a few loads .. hope this helps mm

I have a GE (Model #: DCL333EAOWW) Dryer that will not heat up properly and the timer does not work

Make sure all the wires were replaced correctly and check the circuit breaker two control an electric dryer one for go one for heat. if all the wires were not replaced correctly you may have tripped one or it may have caused the prolem without tripping one . I'd start with the wires.

Check the circuit breaker or fuse box it takes two one to run one to heat. Then check thermostats Hi limit may be burnt if it overheated If the venting had been blocked. Hope that helps

my dryer heating is not turning on
