Model Number: LET8858AW   Brand: -brand-   Age: 5 - 10 years   

My son was drying a shirt in dryer while my other son overflowed the bathroom sink causing water to fall onto dryer. The dryer stopped working and now won't run. The circuit breaker is on and light inside and doorswitch seem to work. Any ideas?????

Check water marks in the dryer, see if the motor is wet. If so, dry the motor in you oven. After that manually activate the start switch on the motor, then plug in 115 volts in pins 4 &5 and see if motor now runs, if not you have a bad motor start switch.
If timer got wet, put that in the oven to dry.
Please post results.
