How do i check if my start on switch is good or bad?
Here are your parts
Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL LER5848EQ5 ELECTRIC DRYER | AppliancePartsPros.com
See the attachment for the wiring diagram.
Unplug the unit and the wire to one side of the start relay contacts.
Measure across the contacts with a meter, they should go to 0 ohms when the start is pushed.
If the problem is that the unit will not start it is more likely that the thermal fuse on the blower is blown.
If it is replace it and also clean/check your vent system as this is the most common cause of it blowing.
