Dryer Repair

Rick L. Gardner · #1 (**permalink**) 04-30-2009, 01:26 PM

I have recently (within the past year) replaced the main control switch as well as 2 other idems not related to the dryer not running and am unsure of why it will not start. Ofcourse I have checked the obvious power cord and breaker. Any suggestions ??

Ok, always difficult to diagnose, but

Here are a couple of things

1. Check your thermostats for continuity

2. Check the wiring harness to the motor

3. Check the Motor Switch

4. Check the start Switch by opening up the console and jumping the wires on the start switch to see if that cause the dryer to start.

Good luck, and let us know if you find the problem.
