I have a GE gas dryer model DCVH515GF0WW. Went to use it one day and it was just dead, the only symptom I have to work with is it has no lights or sounds on the display panel and doesn't work at all. I have confirmed power is getting to the main control board but that is all I've been able to do.
Any way to diagnose if there's a fault on the main control board or if the problem is the display board or ribbon cable or perhaps something else that would cause this issue?
I've checked and there is power at all the red hashes I made on the photo.
After getting new bulbs, (It's been out for a while) yes the light works and is operating with the door switch. I also do have the tech sheet mentioned. The only cable that connects to the display board is the ribbon cable and the sheet doesn't break down what pins supply power. I did want to mention that we had a power issue a few months back (broken neutral at the power pole) that got fixed. The dryer did work afterwards and since then, just has me wondering if it played a role
Was the display always on or did it only come on when the door was opened and closed ?
OR did it come alive when you touched any button on the control ?
This is the power supply section.
It's high voltage. Comes thru that choke and goes thru the row of 4 diodes.
That choke almost looks burned. Check the other side of the board
I honestly don't know with 100 percent certainty. I've used it a lot but guess I've never actually paid attention. I think it did turn on with the door being opened.
My compliments. Your pictures are very good and helpful.
You are correct. That area looks like it got wet and with the high voltage would have arced.
I'm pretty sure your board is dead.
I see several boards floating around. New is no longer in production.
One new for $250+.
I'm seeing one or two used on ebay.
I see possible rebuilds.
Hello:
There is an old Brown(name brand) and mid-sized Gas Range/stove in my kitchen. Recently, a slight noise when open its door to cook inside the Gas Range. That noise does not happen when closing its door, just when opening its door in the front of Gas range.
I suspect there is worn-out hinge or similar attachment inside the Gas Range started to wear out, but just my speculation.
Should I call a Gas-stove technician to look at it before getting bad not being able to open and close its door of Gas range?
I'd appreciate any thoughts on this regard.Read More
I just purchased a Universal Cribben & Sexton gas stove. The lady I bought it from said everything was working. But that wasn’t exactly the truth. I think it’s a 1950. It’s 4 burner and a large center burner/griddle. Oven is on right side and broiler on left.
It is basically in pretty clean and cosmetically in good shape. I got it home. Quite the ordeal since this is a heavier than we all thought. Got it home and hooked it up and started to light up burners etc. Stove and broiler did did not turn on. We were able to get the oven pilot light on but no gas comes up to the front of oven. Broiler pilot light does not work. We were able to get it lit but does not stay lit even with holding in the safety valve for a period of time. As soon as you let go of that button, it shuts right down.
I am hoping someone can help. I absolutely love the stove and am hoping some of the problems are easy fixes.
there are few other things that are not working but my goal is to get the oven working.
I have done a lot of research but have not been able to get the help I need. Hoping you can. Fingers crossed!!!
