My wife's ge dryer dpsr483ea1ww uses sensor bars in the cottons automatic drying mode. this cycle doesn't stop like it is suppose to. i have replaced a number of parts just recently including the panel that contains the sensor bars. however there as nothing connected to these bars. previously my wife had a service call on the front drum bushing and bushing strip. is it possible that some wires were removed then as it appears that this has not been working for quite a while. is there a wiring diagram that you can supply?

SOURCE: Automatic dry feature of electric dryerr does not work

chances are you have lint on the sensor look inside the dryer in the front just in side the door you will see three or four silver wires about flush with the front housing wipe the off and try it if this fails contact a local appliance parts store with your model number and they can get the part num for it
good luck

SOURCE: squeaky dryer drum...felt thing came off how to replace it?

Squeaking is cause by the drum bearing worn out and telling the tale. As it get thinner and thinner it begins to rub against the metal outer casing it is embellished in. To inspect it you must rmove tyhe front and get the drum out. Start by opening the the door and removing the screws holding down the top. Then raise the top and get the screws out thathold the front on. Use the rear acces panel(if applicable) to get the idler loose or access that idler from the front.

Check the following areas thoroughly to address this issue.


1. Venting
Make sure the dryer vent hose, as well as the rest of the vent duct, is not clogged.

Unless regular maintenance is performed, chances are there is a lot of lint accumulated inside the dryer. This might affect the drying time and could be a fire hazard. Make sure to have your dryer cleaned regularly. Because this might involve taking most of the dryer apart, it is recommended to have a qualified appliance repairman perform this task.

2. Thermostat
There are a couple of cycling thermostats inside the dryer. If one of them breaks down, it might affect the dryer's performance. Replace the defective thermostat.

3. Heating element
A heating element might only be partially burned out, in which case it would still work but will take longer time to dry the clothes. Replace the element if found defective.

NOTE***(This unit is equipped with a dryness control board. if all points above check out ok, replace this board).
