GE Dryer Troubleshooting Explained
It is not uncommon to be intimidated by a busted GE dryer. Some people immediately call an appliance repair man. Unfortunately, this might end up costing over half the cost of a new GE dryer. Other people immediately try to start narrowing down what could be causing the dryer to malfunction. There are 3 main systems that can break on a GE dryer. If the dryer is not getting hot, this could be an indication of a faulty dryer igniter, heater element assembly, or even the gas valve solenoid. The dryer igniter is the piece that causes the spark when gas is injected into the combustion chamber. The gas valve solenoid is the part that starts and stops the gas flow into the combustion chamber. GE gas dryer parts aren’t typically any more expensive than the electrical appliance parts. Another main system that could be the culprit is the spinning system. Typical GE dryer replacement parts in this category include: the motor assembly, the GE dryer belt, and even the thermal fuse. Thermal fuses are very common to replace as the stock fuses are usually very weak. In fact, if whoever does the laundry at your house repeatedly forgets to remove the lint from the lint filter, this can easily cause an increased temperature in the drying chamber and trip the thermal fuse. The last situation could be that the appliance doesn’t start at all. This is usually an indication of the timer being broke or the GE dryer knob spinning freely. If any of these GE dryer parts are in need of replacement, you just need to go through the troubleshooting steps to identify which one, and then find a reputable place to buy the GE dryer parts.
Use your GE Dryer Repair Manual
A GE dryer manual can be a big help when doing your GE dryer repair. The manufacturer usually includes a GE dryer parts diagram along with an official GE dryer parts list. You can use these diagrams to troubleshoot your problem and locate the pieces of your appliance to disassemble. The repair manual will also usually indicate which tools you need to perform the repair. In most cases, you can get by with only the basic tools like a screwdriver and crescent wrench.
