Hey all. I have searched the site and haven't solved my issue I need some help. My dryer was having problems starting, I could hear the door latch click when I pushed the start button. After a while it might work for a while then quit. I have pulled the dryer totally apart and check continuity on all the sensors in it all read on the ohm resistor. Does anyone have any suggestions? control panel, circuit board, possible the start switch? I appreciate anyone's help! Thanks

When you push the start button and it does not start, do you hear a buzzing or humming sound while pushing the start button?
When it does start does it stop in the middle of a cycle and if so are you able to push the start button and get it running again or not?

No buzzing or humming while pushing the start button just a click. If it stops in the middle of the cycle it will not start right away again.

I suspect your motor is bad.
