Cloths are getting warm but not drying.?
For model number GFD45ESSM1WW
Hi Dwight, thank you for the question. If the lint screen is clogged, it restricts the airflow in the dryer, which reduces its ability to dry the clothes. We would recommend cleaning it. If that does not help, we would suggest checking the Cycling Thermostat, part number PS756232, and Heating Element, part number PS8756702. If you require assistance placing an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!

Hi Jacqueline, thank you for reaching out. We have found that the issue is with the inlet control thermistor, part number PS1766014.

007 code on display
For model number GFD45ESSM1WW
Hi Joshua, thank you for reaching out. The 007 error code indicates that the Line 2 or L2 and Neutral are reversed. We would suggest correcting the power cord wiring connections on the terminal block. If that is not the case, then you may have a defective control board, part number PS12726587. You may need to replace the control board to fix the issue. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

My dryer doesn't seem to be drying all the way. Could my heating element have issues? I've tried turning the temperature up on cycles and the clothes do get somewhat dry but it seems like they use to be dryer. Thanks for any input

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 pow

er 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.

Broken Dryer Belt
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.
