Start Button

Could be one of several things. There is an interlock switch that turns off the machine when the door is open. There is a thermal switch that turns off the machine when it thinks it is too hot. There is usually a big start up capacitor in the motor circuit that might be defective. The timer runs off a different circuit than the motor. Unplug your dryer and use a multi-meter to test the switches. That's the easiest thing to verify first.

I have a Kenmore 70 series dryer. The dryer runs

Notes: Check all components on dryer with at least one wire removed and all have continuity or 0 ohms. Have checked circuit breaker and know for sure 240 volts is going in machine (motor runs on 120v heater needs 240v).Ok the next thing to do is find the heavy red wire going into the timer. Remove the red wire from the timer. Set the timer on heat dry cycle (power if off) Chck from that leg of the timer to any other leg on the timer for continuity. or 0 ohms. if you get nada then the contacts inside the timer is bad.

Dryer has power but nothing happens when you press

First check the door switch to make sure it is clicking when depressed. Open door and depress the door switch with your finger, should hear a click. If you do not replace the door switch. Other problem will be the thermal fuse located on the blower housing. Small white plastic piece with 2 wires going to it. Hope this helps.

Dryer will not run

If a dryer is not working at all that's not good! But it doesn't mean you need to go appliance shopping just yet. It may be something very simple like a bad door switch or even a broken door switch actuator, in a kenmore dryer there is a tab thats sticks out of a hole in the wall that allows the dryer to run only if the door is shut, other models may have button that protrudes out of the dryer and when the door is shut, this allows the dryer to run. These switches go out from time to time, also if a dryer is full of lint build-up over time this will cause the dryer high limit or fuse to blow. The fuse is located near where the blower is in most cases. When the air in the dryer gets way too hot the fuse/hi-limit will blow and the house wont burn down

My front loading dryer Whirlpool

check for electrical power if you have 220+ then check the door switch, jump the wirers if necessary. If switch ok, then move timer to 20 minutes and press start--if timer ok then you must have a broken wire in the wiring harness. Good luck.

Whirlpool WGD4800XQ1 Dryer-- Replaced burner coils and it worked great. The next day no ignition again.

There are about seven different possiblities and the prospective solution in each case appears to be replacement of a different part! I suppose if you have the proper testing equipment for assessing each of those parts, you might be favored with a relatively inexpensive fix. I would be embarassed to suggest you replace all in sequence until the dryer works. Thermal Fuse: The thermal fuse is a safety mechanism that prevents the dryer from overheating. If it blows, the dryer won't heat. Check if the thermal fuse is intact and replace it if necessary. Cycling Thermostat: The cycling thermostat regulates the temperature inside the dryer drum. If it's faulty, the dryer may not heat properly. Consider checking and replacing the cycling thermostat. Igniter: The igniter is responsible for lighting the gas burner. If it's defective, the dryer won't ignite. Inspect the igniter for any signs of damage or malfunction. Gas Valve Coils: Although you've already replaced them, double-check the gas valve coils. Sometimes, even new parts can fail. Ensure they are securely connected and functioning correctly. Ventilation: Poor ventilation can lead to longer drying times and affect ignition. Make sure the dryer vent is clean and not obstructed. A clogged vent can cause overheating and affect ignition. Door Switch: The door switch ensures the dryer doesn't operate when the door is open. If it's faulty, the dryer won't start or heat. Verify that the door switch is functioning properly. Timer and Controls: Check if the timer advances correctly during the drying cycle. Malfunctioning controls can impact ignition. Inspect the timer and control board for any issues. Whirlpool Dryer WGD4800XQ1 - OEM Parts & Repair Help - PartSelect.com

Whirlpool ED9270XW1 dryer when you hit the start button, the dryer will not start?

Never 'hit' the Start Button, always press it gently. It is part of the main control board. Whirlpool dryers can be reset by disconnecting the power from the wall socket overnight. Apart from that, you would need to disassemble it and check the Thermal Cut Out, the Thermal Fuse and the Thermostat with a digital multimeter.
