For model number GFD40GSCM0WW
Hi Sean, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, you may need to check the drive belt, part number, PS16542496, first. The drive belt goes around the drum in the dryer and the pulleys and helps it rotate. If it is faulty or broken, the dryer will not be able to operate correctly. If the drive belt is not faulty, then you may need to check the moisture sensor, part number PS1021860. This component monitors the levels of moisture in the dryer and then sends a signal to the control board. If it becomes defective, it will inaccurately tell the control board that your dryer has no moisture and shut the dryer off. If there is no issue with the moisture sensor, you may need to check the door latch, part number PS3502777. The door latch can become worn out and result in the dryer door opening up when it is turned on. If the door latch is not faulty, then the issue may be due to an overheating drive motor, part number PS11700890. We hope this solves your problem!

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.
