Default GE Dryer Problem


LCZ wrote:
Having problem with dryer. Drum turns and it heats a little, but not
enough. I check venting from dryer to outside, no obstructions. I turned
off lights and opened door (hold switch in) and started dryer. I expected
to see the heating elements very clearly light/heat up. I didn't. I did
feel some heat but it was very little. Dryer is about 3 years old. Model
number DBSR45EB2WW. Could this be a bad high level thermostat? Thaks

Hi,

Could this be a bad high level thermostat?


Sure. Could be bad elements, bad operating thermostat(s), bad timer,
bad motor heat switch, bad selector switch, burnt/loose wire.....

I'd check the elements as a place to start, do a visual inspection.

DBSR45EB2WW


Closest I found was DBSR453EB2WW
