Centrifugal switch in the motor is either bad, or a wire is disconnected or burned off. Be careful and disconnect electricity before checking. You will have to flip the top and remove 4 screws to remove front panel to get at motor. The centrifugal switch will be a black Bakelite assembly at the rear of the motor. Sometimes it is easier to just replace the motor.

It may be the centrifugal switch on the motor. The push button starts the motor and as the motor spins up to speed the centrifugal switch closes to keep the motor running. Hope this helps.

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 will not start

The motor centrifugal switch is not switching from the start winding to the run winding. The switch should stay in the run winding when the motor picks up speed unless power to the motor is interrupted or cut off. The switch is replaceable on most dryer models but sometimes it is an integral or built-in part of the dryer motor and failure of the switch requires the replacement of the motor. Indicate the exact model number of the dryer for more accurate troubleshooting and repair advice.

Sounds like you have bad run windings on your motor. Holding the start button continues to send power to the start windings. When you release it the power should kick over to the run windings. You will need a new motor. _MJ_

POST MODEL NUMBER, BUT IT MAY BE THE MOTOR START SWITCH.

IF YOU HAVE A METER YOU CAN CHECK THE START BUTTON ON OHMS,CLOSED AND GET A READING GOOD,OPEN AND GET NO READING GOOD,OR JUST A WIRE ACROSS THE SWITCH TO SEE IF THE MOTOR STARTS RUNNING,IF ALL THAT FAILS I WOULD SAY THE MOTOR IS BAD,LET ME KNOW-MIKE

disconnect power and remove lid. Test the door switch w a volt meter do so opening and closing the door not pushing switch if circuit stays open try pushing switch with finger. If pushing closes circuit then adjust switch.If circuit stays open replace switch. If switch operates with no problems then it is the motor. Check all connections and vacuum lint from motor
How old is this dryer?

Either the motor relay, or if this is an evenheat dryer, the evenheat control board could be bad.
