Electric start not working

Let me briefly explain what happens when you turn n the key. All power is off in the off position with the possible exception of the brake light. When you turn on the key, you supply power from the battery to the electrical system. Typically, all systems are powered through a connection on the start solenoid. When key is on and the solenoid is in the off (or rest) position - all electrical works. When you energize the start solenoid, you need all the power you can get to run the starter - everything electrical turns off. After the start, you release the start button, everything electrical comes back on (solenoid returns to the rest position).
In your case, you say everything goes dead when you press the start button - this is as it should be - however, the mechanics of this system should deliver power to the starter - which evidently it is not. (A solenoid is nothing more than a electric powered heavy duty switch) It is possible your solenoid is worn out. There is heavy sparking/burning of the contacts every time you press the button. First thing to do is check voltage on the start side of the solenoid when you press the button. Voltage should be the same as on the hot side with the key on. Other possibilities - the wire from the solenoid is loose, damaged or disconnected, check both ends for tightness and cleanliness. There is that possibility there is a problem with your starter. Removal is not for the faint of heart though it is possible. There is also that possibility your engine is locked up and your starter can not turn it over because of that. If this is the case and you have a amp meter - you will see heavy draw on the starter wire. If you have a volt/ohm meter, you can so all the prelim checking.
I hope this helps you with your trouble. Good luck and thanks for using FixYa.com

Hello,
This is a very common issue on these units. The touch pad has failed. You can try to flip the breaker off for several minutes and see if that clears the code. More than likely the touch pad will need to be replaced.

TAKE IT BACK AS DEFECTIVE FOR EXCHANGE OR REFUND

HAVE BATTERY TESTED FIRST BEFORE REPLACING STARTER

there is no pilot light. electric igniter will glow and pull amps allowing gas valve to open. if you do not see igniter glow it is bad or thermal fuse has blown. look for 120 volts at the igniter when running. if voltage found bad igniter, if no voltage trace back to fuse/stats.this assumes dryer is actually running. if drum not turning could be a number of things. door switch, fuse, etc

It could be the park/neutral switch, next time it doesn't start try wiggling the shifter in park while turning the key, or shift to neutral and see if that will work. if that doesn't change the problem I would replace the ignition switch.

burn it!!!!!!

FWIW ... the Sears guy came by yesterday. The problem was apparently that the door latch was not operating to the extent that the sensors thought the door was open. He is replacing the latch next week. He adjusted the old one in the mean tiome and it appears to be working fine.

This kind of stunned me, since my wife reported an electric zap and the interior light burned out as the dryer went dead -- so I was sure it would be a fried circuit board -- but, no, a little jiggling of the latch seemed to clear it up....

replace the coils on burner valve ..they will fail sometimes after initial heat up both are in kit change both

try turning the drum by hand...is it jammed? if not, then: the motor will not turn due to a number of reasons: 1.) simply burned out copper windings 2.) switch not turning on motor or not turning on motor starting circuit-depending on design ...if jammed, then try to find the interference to turning
