Washer door won’t open
For model number GFDN240EL0WW
PartSelect logo
Hello John, thank you for your question. The issue could be a stuck door catch. We would recommend opening up the cabinet of the unit, and releasing the tabs that hold the door catch, once that is released the door should open and you can replace the door latch and strike assembly, which are PartSelect Number: PS3502777 and PartSelect Number: PS266893. I hope this helps!

The start button on the dryer continues to flash Green wont start when depressed. Does the button or plastic depression feature which hits the board have to be replaced or is there some other reason it would be flashing?
For model number GFDN240EL0WW
PartSelect logo
Hi John, Thank you for your question. Check the connections between the control panel and the electronic control board to see if everything is fitted correctly. If the start button on the control panel is damaged, you will need to replace the control panel. If this is not the issue, then the electronic control board will need to be replaced. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!

Drum belt broke
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.

Dryer would not start
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.
