Hi,

If your dryer is not drying like it once did or if you just have nottaken the time to give yourself a clean dryer in a long time then youneed to do that. At least once a year the dryer cleaning should takeplace. Lint build up in the dryer duct is one of the main causesfor your dryer to fail.

your dryer vent could possibly be stopped up also you will need to have the thermistor and t-stat changed but make sure the dryer vent that goes out is not clogged. the more hot air out the better the dryer works.

It's either the timer switch or the motor.

Beyond checking for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker (find the dryer circuit breaker and turn it off, then back on) I would suggest having a qualified Service Technician look at your dryer. Your dryer operates on 240VAC. One leg of power (L-1, 120VAC) operates the motor and timer. The second leg (L-2, 120VAC) ends up at one side of your heating element while L-1 is on the other side. L-2 goes from your power cord to the juction block, to the motor centrifugal switch and finally to one connection of the heater. L-1 goes from your power cord to the junction block, then through the operationg thermostat and the high limit thermoastat, then possibly a thermal fuse and finally to the other connection on the heating element. L-1 and L-2 together supply 240VAC. No heat at all can be a fault with ANY of the components mentioned.

first check to see if you can manually turn the drum ..then go to back of dryer in the center their is a cover plate...remove 2 screws to see the drum shaft ...remove the snap ring to remove the 2metal washers..and 1 fiber washer ..their should be a fiber sleave/bearing that slides onto the shaft that is in a metal bracket ...this is the rear support for the drum ..its prob.. out of bracket an grinding a big er hole ///or the front of the dryer drum slides are bad ..if you did the belt they are on top of the front panel of the dryer door they are plastic slides ..the inside of the drum has to be ontop of them to rotate ....let me know an good luck.../joe/

the old G/E style dryers never did show the time why ?that i dont know .but i believe the first or longest setting on the dial is 45 mins the only way to find out exact is to use a clock to see how long it really is ...each an every different cycle on the dial ..its a pain but you will know ...i have worked on hundreds of these ? you will figure it out ...let me know.. an good luck.. /joe/

Rough handling may have the drum belt to get binded. Try turning the drum by hand to see if it turns free or is locked. This may align the belt to the motor or may just take off the belt altogether from the motor. You will have to get inside access to see whats up. Once inside realign the belt to the motor and pulley assembly. Then CHECK ALSO that no wire connections inside came apart during moving. Good luck

is the drum spinning easy ?with no metal to metal grinding sound ? could be the start run capacitor for the motor its black/ round and is on the side of motor //or the motor windings have overheated 2 manny times an swelled the windings ///the drum shaft sleave/bearing could be wore out or gone //the front drum slides could be wore out or gone //kinda need a little more info.. hope this helps.. let me know., an good luck

Your model number is missing a number between the Y & W, so I guessed.

Yes there is a belt, Sears.com will help you figure it out.

you could have a defective start switch on the dryer motor, bad motor bearing making motor drag and draw excessive current or a heater element shorted to the dryer case

get a belt with diagram on bag

Open the door. Remove the screws inside the top of the door frame to raise the lid.

When you hold the start switch you are energizing the start winding of the motor. If the motor does not take off and run, the most likely cause is the centrifugal switch inside the dryer's motor is not being switched. It is switched by a spring loaded collar on the motor shaft which moves when the motor starts to run, and again back when it stops. Often times this collar begins to stick on older dryers. Sometimes you can free it up by cleaning the dryer motor with an air compressor and hitting the collar with some spray lube. This only works some times. The only sure fix is to replace the motor, which unfortunately is rather expensive and a fair amount of work. Please don't bother rating this, as anything but a Fix-Ya lowers my score.

Heating element is behind the drum. Disconnect power. Use putty knife to release 2 spring clips holding top at front edge of dryer. Swing top back. Remove two screws holding dryer front to sides near open top. Swing dryer front to the side. (you don't have to disconnect the door switch wires) Remove plastic tub block at top center of opening. Release belt. Pull up on back of drum, then pull drum out through the open front of dryer.

It may be a broken drive belt, check underneath for remnants of the belt.
