Dryer is 6 years old-used intermittently through the year(cotrage)
1 year ago problem began
Dryer stops before load is dry. . Restarts after 5-10 minutes. Will not restart sooner by opening and closing door. Thermostats removed and function test properly with heating and multimeter
Initial failures with large heavy wet loads.
Ductwork cleaned of lint-improved but then problem recurred
When Ductwork completely removed and dryer vented into bathroom, it did not fail so it seemed that resistance in the duct was-still a problem(although it worked with setup for 4 years ok)
Streamlining ducts by eliminating a long corrugated flex behind the dryer seemed to help but dryer still failed with heavier losds
Could this be a problem with a weak drive motor or thermal fuse in the motor?
Thanks
For model number GUD27ESMJ1WW
Hi Phillip, thank you for reaching out. As you have already checked the thermistor and it is fine, we would suggest checking the motor and pulley, part number PS12320238. If the drive motor is weak or overheating, it could cause the dryer to stop mid-cycle. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this sorts out your problem!
We are having problems with clothes getting stuck or pinched in the dryer where it rotates just inside the door. They emerge with permanent black oil marks and even holes.
Is there a way to stop this?
For model number GUD27ESMJ1WW
Hi Lucy,
Thank you for your question. If clothes are getting stuck just inside the dryer door, the drum may not be sitting correctly in the dryer and we recommend checking the drum glides, and the trap duct and felt assembly. We hope this helps!
Removed the front Dryer panel. Left drum in place and lifted it up slightly to get access to motor drive. Slipped belt in place and put panel back on. This was a first attempt ever at fixing an appliance and it was no big deal.
The end repair was very simple and took minimal effort. The time and difficulty was all in the testing. I disassembled the dryer and removed the drum and then hard wired each thermo-fuse to determine where the fault was. After test all of those I was stumped. When I opened the door the light would not come on so I assumed it was a power fault closer to the source. However after all of my testing I couldn't find anything wrong. I then removed the light bulb and realized it was burned out which led me to the door switch being the fault. I removed the switch and soldered the three wire together and the dryer started right up! All I had to do was order a new $15 part, unsolder the wires and plug them in. Would have been so much simpler if that light bulb hadn't of been burned out causing me to over think my diagnosis. This was my first major appliance repair and I did it with only the help of the parts diagram provided on the website.
I had to take most of the dryer apart because there is no rear access to the motor. It turned out to be easy to dissasembel the dryer. The only problem that I had was that I could not figure out how to route the belt around the motor and the idol pullies. I could not find anywhere that gave instructions on how to properly tension the belt. I finally figured out that the idoler pulley needs to be locked in place on the right side of the engie mount. Then the belt needs to be routed over idoler pulley and under the motor pulley. Finally release the idoler pully from the locked postion to put tension on the belt. It really turned out to be pretty easy.
