    I’ve got twelve of these exact GE dryers that are about six years old sitting in one of my buildings. Time to order some belts and pulleys, as I’m sure one will go any day now... Thanks for the video! This is going to make my life a heck of a lot easier when one of those belts finally bites the dust. However, these dryers have been pretty great aside from having to replace broken control knobs and control panels.
    The washers, on the other hand... I’ve mastered the art of draining the washer drum to pull a tiny sock out of the drain pump. No idea how they fly in to the pump so easily when draining, but it happens about five or six times a year.

    Hey Skid!!! Where I work we have the same dryer. Had a work order come in, resident said it would run for 5 minutes and then shut off.. but would start right back after pushing the start button. I checked for loose connections, high limit switch, door switch you name it! I was wondering if you ever came across this before? Thanks Skid for the videos!!!

    • @LexVance
      @LexVance  5 років тому

      Yea when it happened to me, the resident had the dryer pushed against the wall & was crimping the vent hose. The heat couldn't vent out so it would shut the dryer off as a safety precaution. Once it cooled, it would start back up. Check the vent hose. Thank you so much for watching Leecro!

    Lex, quick question, if the barrel keeps rotating but the start bottom keep shutting off, does it mean I have to also replace the belt?

    • @LexVance
      @LexVance  4 роки тому

      There's a safety switch on the bottom left under the barrel. It could be bad. The switch shuts the dryer off if the belt breaks. The dryer will turn on when you push then start button but will turn back off when you let go. That's the symptoms. You'll have to remove the barrel to check that switch with a volt meter set to continuity. Thank you so much for watching alobo!

    Good repair for that particular problem.
    From the sound of that GE (I think), that dryer may have another problem or two at anytime.
    Seems like the motor has a slight hum and the rollers and or bearings are a little noisey.
    Yeah, GE's are fun to work on. Not! :)

    What if the dryer starts when I hold the button & does stay on while I hold it but when I let go it turns off? I checked & the drum does in fact spin & the dryer is producing heat. It just won't stay on if I let go of the start button.

    • @LexVance
      @LexVance  4 роки тому

      There's a switch down to the left of the drum. An interlock switch. It may be bad. You've got to remove the drum to see it. The pulley arm makes it click.

    • @nancymala
      @nancymala 4 роки тому

      Lex Vance Hi, Thanks for your quick reply! Removing the drum, is that done from the back of the dryer? I don’t know if I can handle all that by myself. What if I replace the start switch in the control panel? Do you think that might work?

    the pulley worn like that was bearing failure, it twists sideways and the belt moves to the edge riding against the lip and chews itself and pulley until it lets go. just one more thing that used to last for years, then again most people washed "once" a week and often reused the water for multiple clothing, now days it seems like the dryer and washer get ran multiple times a day for "micro loads", then they claim front loaders with less water usage are super efficient. not as often as they get used =p

    • @LexVance

      Check the dryer vent hose in the back. If it's crimped or clogged with lint, it'll shut off due to a safety switch. I hope everything works out for you!
