Well my GE Gas Dryer DBR453GA0WW or DBR453GAOWW, I never can get those 0 or O right, would tumble but it would not heat up to dry the clothes. I found the part number of the ignition switch because I figured the ignitor would be the problem. So now it is on to taking apart the dryer and finding out where the switch is to replace it. There really was not anything on the web to help so Ill give you my steps.
1. Unplug the dryer. Remove the four screws on top of the controls. I do not know if this step is really necessary but it made it easier.
2. Get a putty knife or thin screwdriver and pry the top off. I have a front load dryer and the top is only held in place by clips.
3. Ok so here is a step that I did that you can skip. I thought that maybe it was in the back on the opposite side of the gas line because there is an access panel. Well that is just an access panel to the motor not the ignitor so unless you need to work on the motor you can skip this.
4. Ok so after the top is off I really still could not see what I needed to do so I guessed. I guessed right though, so what you need to do is remove two screws that are on the inside of the front panel. I then also had to remove some wire ties so that the front would come off. I could not get the wires off so this was good enough. After you remove these two screws then once again you just pull off the front. There are just clamps holding it in place. Once you get the front off.
5. You will see a lot of LINT 🙂 I got the vacuum and clean it up. Then I see the ignition switch is clamped in. So I pull it out. I actually had to pull the clamp out as well. I then put the new ignition switch into the clamp and got the whole thing back in. Was tough though if you do not have small hands.
6. Put everything back and it actually worked. I can dry clothes again!
As always standard disclaimer. You really should have a professional work on your dryer, not do it yourself.
