General Electric DBXR463EG Dryer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Definitely sounds like a timer problem. Sears Parts Direct should have your part. The model # you supplied is incomplete to determine if you have a gas or electric dryer. Check the model # again and go to Sears page to find the correct part.

what happened to the wiring diagram that was located inside of the control panel

common problem is the rear bearing....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7f8pF64008....copy and paste and watch the video,if this doesn't look like your machine,open the door and if there's two screws on the top remve them and pull off the top panel and everything else will be the same.

Hi,
Is the motor getting hot or is the element not shutting off?
If it is the motor then it is going bad...
If it is the element then the thermostat is bad and will just heat till the high limit shuts it down...then replace the thermostat and the high limit now that it has been activated...

here are a couple of tips that may also help you...

You may have a blower which is not circulating enough air flow. You can have heat and no blockage but a blower whcih is not moving enough air to distribute the heat and displace the moisture filled heat to the exterior.

There is a small plastic T-Bearing at the rear/center of the drum that often wears that could cause the noise.
Easy to replace,but be sure to add a little grease to it before putting drum back in.
At times it could also be the front drum glides,or even the plastic Idler wheel.

Look closely at them all when you have the drum out.

All these parts are relatively cheap to purchase.

Wigo.




















center of the drum

Check the electic first. Check the thermal limit fuse. clean the machine of all lint. If the coil is bad you will see it is broken (burnt in two).

that could be anything you just have to unplug the dryer and get in there and see what happened,the belt pulley could have failed and jamming up the belt,first off does the dryer start?if so and the drum isn't spinning then the belt could be broke but this says it's a g.e. dryer so this has a safety switch in it that won't let the dryer run if the belt breaks,also g.e. has a rear bearing that fails,did you hear any sounds before like metal on metal,this could be alot of things,there's a front bulkhead with glides on it,i've seen the drum cut through the front of the dryer before, if you write back send the brand name and model number and anything else you heard before or take it apart and see what's up.if the dryer has alot going on with it don't buy another g.e. dryer get a whirlpool.

think its Insufficient heating (maximum time exceeded). Possible fault Heater unit faulty; Wiring faulty; NTC sensor incorrectly calibrated/out of position; Electronic board faulty. Machine Status/Action Cycle paused.

Hi Kristina. Try cleaning out your dryer vent line. Depending on how it's installed, sometimes it can get clogged at the discharge screen outside or if the line is draped under a house or a mobile home.It can develope a belly or multiple bellies depending how it was installed. These will trap the humid air discharge coming from the dryer and the condensation will accumulate in the line restricting the discharge air and tripping the safety limit switches. you can use a shop vac to clean the line but be careful,if the vent is old it can become brittle and crack easily. If the line is in question I recommend placing the hose on the discharge side of the vacuum and blow it through. It may make a little mess but far easier then replacing the line or worse the dryer.

This is fine for your electric dryer but if it is a gas dryer then you do not have a heating element. There are several things that can cause a dryer to not heat so there is not just one answer.

Try the thermofuse it has one connection on either end and is placed where all connections go to

That is a bad model number. Are you getting it off the tag in the machine?

sounds like a bad ignitor not allowing gas to flow

Unplug dryer.Pry up front corners of lid with flat blade screwdriver. Lift lid. It should hinge on back Push down firmly to close.
