GE Dryer: HELP: Cold Room Temperature Issue

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 14:07:42 -0700

GE Profile Harmony Dryer

GE Profile Harmony electric dryer: Here's a tricky one for you. My dryer won't power on when it's cold outside, nor will it power on in the summer when I have the house cooled with the air conditioner.

I am able to keep the control panel powered on: I have to set it on DELAY START so that the control display panel won't turn off. As long as the digital panel stays lit, it's fine, and it dries perfectly!

If I forget to set the delay function, I have to heat the room around the dryer's control panel, unplug the dryer for twenty minutes, replug it, wait five minutes, then, if the control panel is warm enough, it will power on.

It wasn't always like this. For the first five years, this never happened -- no matter how cold it got outside.

I've read several other posts online about the same issue, but no one has the answer on what to replace in order to fix it. I'm so tired of having to remember to reset the delay feature or to waste so much electricity using a ceramic heater to heat the panel! I don't want a new dryer-- I just want to replace the faulty part! Can you be our hero?

GE Dryer: Dryer won't power on Solved

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 15:58:18 -0700

I have a GE Front load dryer (GFMS150) only 2.5 years old and this is the second time we have a no power issue. The first was within the warranty period when the Service tech replaced both the control brd and power brd. Unfortunately, 15 months later the dryer won`t turn on again? I have verified the breaker and the 2 fuses, the thermostats and door switch which all work. I measure 120V on the power brd inputs.

I am not sure what to try next other than the controller and power brds. Please let me know your suggestions and thoughts...

I found the issue with my Dryer to be loose power cable connection in the entry to the dryer. I clean them up and re-secured the power cable and all is work again.

GE Dryer: New dryer blows circuit but not the dryer circuit.

Fri, 26 Jul 2024 02:48:34 -0700

New dryer blows circuit but not the dryer circuit. I have a a new GE profile in a new condo that is on (2) 30amp circuits. There has never been a dryer in this condo. When I run the dryer it trips a 15amp breaker for my bedroom. This is a new one for me. Any ideas what this could be or how I can root cause the problem?

GE Dryer: GE Ventless Dryer GFT14ESSL0WW Tear Down

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 14:56:04 -0700

Hello all, my first post. Let's see if I get lucky. lol

So the dryer turns on, no error codes. When I hit start button, the motor sounds like it wants to turn the drum, but it cannot.

Theres so many screws on this thing, I was hoping to find the "shortcut" on how to open it up and look around at the belt and pulley.

Any and all replies are greatly appreciated!

Thank you

GE Profile™ 5.7 Cu. Ft. Extra-Large Capacity Frontload Electric Dryer: Home clothes dryer no longer drying clothes.

Sun, 16 Jan 2022 16:12:48 -0700

For a good while its been making these really really loud sqeals whenever the drum began spinning. Now, its gone back to being silent, but it isn’t drying clothes, and the drum still spins.

What’s going on with it, and can I fix it?

Did my best to find the exact model (didn’t previously exist here), but its quite old.

GE Dryer: Motor Wiring For New Motor

Mon, 02 Sep 2024 07:37:58 -0700

Hi, I have an older GE dryer model# DDE5900RALWH. The current motor in it is a 5KH26JJ064S Dryer Motor. I understand that the WE17X10010 is the current replacement motor but I know it is a universal motor that covers multiple models. Do you know what the wiring hookup would be for my situation switching from this motor to the new one? If it is complex I might have to reassess. Thanks for your help!!

GE Dryer: Dryer worked then sat unplugged for a year and now it won’t start.

Tue, 10 Oct 2023 01:11:11 -0700

I have a combo GE washer dryer. It was working fine but it sat in a storage shed for a year. When we plugged it back in the washer appears to work fine but the dryer won’t start. Checked the idler switch, replaced the motor, replaced the capacitor, checked the door switch, start switch, timer works. Dryer will work if you give it a push start. Start button will get the motor turning if the belt is disconnected. Not sure what to try next. Model number GUD27ESPM1DG.

GE Dryer: Dryer stop mid cycle

Mon, 20 May 2024 13:32:27 -0700

Hi All,

My GE dryer (model pfds450el2ww) has been stopping mid-cycle after running for maybe 25-30 minutes or so. It just beeps once and then stops. After waiting several minutes it will allow me to finish the cycle. Lint trap and vent are both clean. Would appreciate any guidance on how to troubleshoot. Maybe a thermal switch is being hit?

Thanks,
Al
