Hi,

There can be many reasons why your dryer will not start or turn...

The most common causes are the belt breaking or jumping off, or the motor goingbad...

Here are a couple of tips that I wrote will help you to figure out why yourdryer will not run...

Dryer Repair - The Dryer is not Turning

Dryer Repair - The dryer will not start

check the door switch for the safety ,, a multi meter can be used, or just connect the 2 points together with a jumper wire, that will bypass the switch so you can see if thats the problem,, if that checks out ok, check the actual start switch,, you can check it in the same manor

may be door switch, you can bypass it and see if it will start.....or if you hear a click when push the start button it may be your reset switch on you motor.

Just tape the two lid switch wires together and this bypasses the lid switch. Its not neccessary on start button

If this was helpful please rate me.

bypass door switch , if that doesnt work and you have replaced start switch already. then i would unplug unit remove back panel and look for the blower housing , on the blower wheel housing or to the right should be a white thermostat with 2 wires going to it.round shaped and it mounts to the blower housing by pass it and it should work however dont leave it bypassed. hope this helps

Many different possibilities. Could be thermal fuse, timer / control, motor. Start switch, or door switch. Most likely need to call service unless you have means to troubleshoot and test parts.

make sure your door switch is good / if not the dryer wont start / larry

1. No power to the dryerMake sure there's power getting to the dryer. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. Check the wall socket for power with a voltmeter or by plugging something else in.

2. Door switch / Door switch actuator lever
The dryer would not start with a broken door switch. Replace the door switch if found defective.

Most dryers have a door switch actuator lever - when you close a dryer door, it presses against the lever, which actuates the door switch. If the lever is broken, the switch would not activate and the dryer would not start. Replace the lever, if broken.

Note: Door switch actuator lever usually comes with the door switch assembly and it is recommended to get the whole assembly since there is almost no price difference between the door switch assembly and just the lever. Check your model for more details.

3. Thermal fuse
Most dryers have a thermal fuse, which burns out when the dryer overheats, in which case the dryer will either not run at all or stop heating. The fuse is usually located on the vent duct, inside the dryer. A blown fuse will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Before replacing the fuse, make sure the blower wheel is not broken or clogged, and there is nothing blocking the venting.

Note: It is recommended by most dryer manufacturers to replace a hi-limit thermostat when replacing a thermal fuse.

4. Timer
Replace if defective (note: uncommon problem).
