Model Number: 110.63952102 Brand: Kenmore Age: 1 - 5 years
My Kennmore Elite Dryer Will Only Run While You Hold In The Start Button. Let Go Of The Button And It Stops Immediately.

Do not buy a new motor yet!!! If holding the start switch in, and the motor runs fine without drawing excessive current ( like over 8 amps) you have a good motor. If the motor start switch fails to switch to the run winding, you would hear a louder than normal motor hum!! Then smoke!!

You do have a relay in the console. I would check that 1st. Most whirlpool(kenmore) motors are pretty good. The relay # is AP3037419..wrench

Hi niggdj
Most likely the problem with you dryer is a bad control board. Normally it should sense the start of the motor and it does not. I've seen it many times before. - The part number for the control board is AP4319168 Good luck. Gene.
