SOURCE: dryer drum causing squeak

Most likely the front support bearing. If this is the problem you will likely have to replace the slides too. The wizards have a ten year warranty. The bearing is part number WE3M26 and the slides probably need 3 or 4 of them are we1m333. Hope this helps.

While cleaning the inside drum and turned the drum by hand. She heard a "loud noise" and will not turn. The control panel will come on andselect the mode, but when start is pushed nothing happens.

When you rotated to drum you caused to belt to pop off the pulley .it has a safety switch so it won't run if belt breaks . With unit unplugged remove top than control panel than front panel to access bottom to put belt back on just enough room for hands to fix inside

Hello I have a general electric dryer model DBSR463EG6WW serial number TR775112A and was wondering how do I bypass the start switch because it is broken

please there is no need to start your dryer without the switch. you can easily replace the switch yourself just follow this instructions below to replace your switch. things you will need are philip and hex and nut screwdrivers, putty knife and Replacement "start" switch. then Disconnect the dryer from the electrical outlet. Slide the dryer out from the wall and disconnect the dryer vent from the dryer's back panel.
    1. Loop a piece of string behind the "Start" button and pull forward on the string to pop the knob off the switch's post.

    2. Access the interior of the control panel. Depending on your model of dryer, there are several ways to access the interior of the control panel. On older dryers, there will be an access panel along the back of the control panel that can be removed once all of the retaining screws have been removed. On newer dryers, the control panel is held in place by screws in the front or spring clips. Remove the plastic end caps on the control panel and remove the screws underneath. If your dryer has no end caps, slide a putty knife under the corners of the control panel and lift up on the knife to release the clips. Rotate the control panel toward the rear of the dryer to access the interior.

    3. Unplug the wires from the switch by sliding them off the contact terminals on the switch. Make a note which wire connects to which terminal so you can easily connect them to the new switch.

    4. Press the release tab to unlock the switch and slide it out of its socket. If you have an older dryer, remove the retaining screw to remove the switch. Slide a new switch into the socket and press it down until the release tab locks into place. If you removed a retaining screw, replace the screw. Reconnect the wires.

    5. Rotate the control panel back down on the dryer or replace the rear access panel. Replace the knob and reconnect the dryer vent. Plug the dryer back into the electrical outlet.

I have a Kenmore 80 series dryer that will not start. What do I check first?

Check the twin breakers in the house electrical panel--push off, then on. If nothing, check for power at the dryer socket. Measure the voltage across the two slanted slots which should read ~230 volts AC. If zero or near to it, one of the two breakers in the panel is bad, or a wire is open from either breaker to the dryer socket. Also, check the voltage from either slot to the center round hole--it should read ~115 volts AC, If nothing, try the other slot to the round hole. If still nothing, then the neutral wire is not making contact at one end or the other. If you read ~230 volts, then the problem is within the dryer. The first thing to check is the door switch, which if bad, will not allow the machine to start. Anything further will require a wiring diagram plus a voltmeter to trace the problem.

The WHIRLPOOL TEDS840PQ0 dryer wont turn on. The

Check the house electrical panel dryer circuit breaker pair--push off, then on. Try the dryer again. If still nothing, measure the voltage across the two slanted slots in the dryer power socket. It should measure: ~230 volts AC. If at or near zero, either one of the breaker pair is defective, or a wire is open from the breaker to the socket. If you read ~230 volts, then the problem is within the dryer--motor runs, but drum doesn't turn (broken belt), or motor doesn't run (bad controller, motor, door switch, start switch. Does the unit get hot? Need more help on your end.

If the above does not work, pls posrt back.

Hope this be of initial help/idea.

Will not stay on

Your problem is usually associated with the small micro-computer board located inside the control panel. You can access the inside of the control panel by following these simple steps: 1. Unplug machine. 2. Remove the end caps of the console. This can be done by inserting a flat blade screw driver into a groove at the top of each end cap on the back of the console and lifting up slightly. The end cap should just pop loose. 3. After the end caps are out of the way, loosen the two philips screws on each side of the console. 4. Once loosened, the console should flip back by pulling slightly towards you, then up. Inspect the control board for burned components. Even if you don't see anything obvious,the board could still be bad. I still recommend replacing it. I have repaired this problem before and it had nothing to do with the start switch. Good luck. I hope this helps you.
