GE Dryer DNCD450EA0WC

[jambatt]

Unit has electronic interface. Starts and runs for four minutes and then shuts down. Tryed different settings with same results. Unit apparently has has a moisture sensor and thermistor assembly.(see wiring diagram link) Question is the early shutdown being caused by the moisture sensor and thermistor or is this a control board problem??

Timer "counts down" to "0" ?

Cycle can be re-started right away ?

[jambatt]

No. Counts down for four minutes and shuts off. Start at 46 min countdown to 42 min and then shuts off. Start countdown time varies for each cycle, but shuts down after four minutes of run time.

Cycle can be re-started right away ?

also, does the Dryer do this on Timed Dry ?

[jambatt]

Cycle can be started right away. Electronic key pad. Each cycle has different run time. This is a commercial dryer.

Have you tested the thermistor to verify it's within spec.?

[jambatt]

Relied on customer info that machine was not working. Since this unit is all electronic it automatically uses dampness sensor to determine when to shut down if dry condition is detected. Ran machine empty which resulted in auto shutdown after 4 min runtime. Wet clothes in machine and it runs fine. Sometimes you just feel like a nut............
