Default Bosch Dryer Seems Normal, Just Won't Start
Model Number: WTMC6500UC/01   Brand: Bosch   Age: 1 - 5 years   

Dryer is close to 5 years old.
Gas model.

Dryer will not start. Everything seems to operate normally when loading clothes in, selecting dryer cycles with the knob, changing additional options. Red lights come on, digital readout works.. just does not start.

Any clues?

Thanks in advance,
alex

Have you checked the door switch? If it's loose or not working, the dryer won't start...

Default Fixed the problem!

Thanks for the reply, but I figured it out.

When pushing the 'START/STOP' button, it seems the outer plastic button was not fully contacting the switch underneath it to start the cycle

I just shimmed the plastic tip and no more problem.
