Derrick,

Let's do the basics first.

Open the dryer door and press in on the "door switch" plunger, and start the dryer, do it several times, if it starts everytime, check the dryer door for proper alignment, to the opening/front panel, and the door catches and strike for proper good tight fit.

Otherwise, we'll need to get inside the unit abd start checking circuits and wiring.

1. Turn off the gas to the dryer and disconnect the electrical power.
2. Pull the dryer away from the wall far enough to access the back.
3. Remove the three hex-head screws from the rear flange of the dryer’s top cover.
NOTE: The top cover screws have nylon
flat washers on them. Be sure to use these

screws when you reinstall the top cover.
4. Lift the rear of the top cover and slide it back so the tabs clear the catches on the bracket, and remove the cover from the unit.
NOTE: Make sure that the tabs slide under the bracket catches when you reinstall the top cover.

5. Remove the three screws from the machine control electronics board bracket and pull the bracket away from the side of the dryer so you can access the connectors.

Good Luck,
:) :) :)
