Post G E Dryer Help Needed
Brand: General Electric
Model Number: DVL223EAOWW
Age: 5 - 10 years

Our dryer seems to have stopped. One minute it was working, next morning wet clothes. My daughter has been a bit rough with the start switch but in taking it off, it did not seem stripped anywhere. Tried using a pair of pliers to turn it carefully, still nothing. We have checked the cord, checked the house fuse box, checked door button, but nothing seems wrong. The dryer has been kept inside & is in really great shape. We even opened the top panel & it was clean with no rust. We do NOT get any humming noise when turning the start switch, just a faint click. We also checked the switch (at top/back of switch & ground) with a volt meter & it appears it is not getting much power. We are not repair people & are not sure if the switch is bad or something else. Could someone please help!

Thank you

First check to see that you have 240 volts to the dryer.

Check the wiring going to the motor.

Check the wiring going to the timer.

Check the connection were the cord goes in the dryer.

Here is a link to your dryer model DVL223EA0WW.

Usually there are hidden screws holding the top down, they are on the door trim above the door
