Thank you very much! We followed your video, found the problem and fixed it for a few dollars!

Great video! I replaced all the parts only to find the bottom purple wire on heating element was shorted. Replaced wire and back up to running. Guess I have share parts now.

There's one step I would highly recommend adding: Closely inspect all of the wiring connected to the heating element. I got error codes that suggested I replace the thermostat & thermistor. I did with no luck, gave up, and called-in an expert. The repairman hooked up some equipment to the terminal in the back and ran some tests, then told me it was my heating element that went bad. Went to replace it and lo and behold, the dark purple/black wire on the bottom right was melted straight through. Looks like I get to return a lot of parts.

Just ripped my dryer apart and found the exact same thing, melted clear through.

Great video thank you 😊

Very well done. I have this dryer and was not getting heat. Found the parts after watching the video. All for about 40 bucks. Pulled the dryer out to check for lint. Plugged back in and pushed back to the wall. Turned on just to check, and had heat. Hmmmm....Bookmarked this video and the parts just in case. LOL

After replacing the inlet and outlet thermistor (thinking that was the problem since both had no continuity) I did find out thanks to this post that I had the same problem as mentioned in the feed with the burned off purple wire connector on the heating element. Thanks for the tip, this is now the 3rd time I had to take this machine apart (ugh) I do however have a bigger problem, since the actual slide on tab on the heating element got burned off. I will have to try to drill on the remaining tab and try to get a nut and bolt connection on it to connect to the heater element with an eyelet connector.

Thank you very much for the disassembly video. I also have a melted purple wire. I seen the comment below and hoped there would be a recommendation on a fix but I didn't see one. Can I fix the wire or do I need a while new wire harness?

Thanks for your videos - Highly informative for the home DIYer. Could you please comment on what the test values should be for the thermostat and thermistors? For example, thermostat should have continuity, but thermistors no continuity - check instead for resistance. I'm looking for what the room temperature values should be for the the thermistors so I can see if they're out of range.

Good video for disassembly and reassembly but I would have tested the coil first thing with an ohm meter. And then the thermal fuses.

This video was instrumental in getting my dryer up and running again. Thanks so much!

Does anybody have any advice on a GE GDFR270EH1WW not heating up? I can’t find videos anywhere on how to disassemble and what I am looking for to replace the heating element or thermostat

i got a thermostat with 4 wires 2 outside 2 inside is a 2 in 1? should it be continuity on both sets and there s a rectangle thing with 2 wires next to the motor on left panel what is that it has no continuity

The number one failure on these is the purple wire going to the heating element

I replaced all 3 due to no heat and had codes 1&2. Fired it up with a jacket in side a couple times. Was not heating. Got mad and hit the back of the machine and tried again. This time it got hot. I don't know if that was me or the machine just needed more time to heat with the new parts. Will see what happens in the future. Btw, no codes at this time either.

Part number for that Thermostat ?

What is wrong if it keeps burning the wire off

I have this dryer as well the breaker is good , hose is clean. It works but it’s not heating up? (Only blows cool air) Should I also change all of these things as well?

My Dryer suddenly stopped making heat when drying. It operates perfectly normal otherwise and I've made sure all vents are clear without blockages. Would this be your first guess as to what the problem might be? Anything else I could do to rule anything else out before conducting this rather complicated fix? Thanks for all you do!

I can almost guarantee you have the same issue. It's so common with these dryers. The good news is that the fix is cheap. Trim off the burnt end and re-splice a connector and attach it

Same as the others. Burnt purple wire going to the heating element. GE needs a better design for that.

Why did you not test any of the components

Ditch this brand and model stick with kenmore or Maytag - your welcome 😎

Should I replace both fuses and the thermostat? Mine stopped heating. I have the dryer pulled apart as per your video. Everything looks good but I'm assuming the thermostat is bad.

What a stupid design. Literally almost the whole dryer has to come apart to access a commonly replaced 15 dollar part (I’m not referring to the heating element)

Im just laughing at how ridiculous this design is. What happened to removable back panels? My problem with my dryer is it is acting like it has no power, like its not plugged in. Not sure where fuse is for it
