Several different components could be preventing your dryer from continuing to run when the start button is released. The wiring diagram and other technical information for your dryer are shown in the image below. When the start (PTS or Push To Start) button is pushed, the PTS contact is closed and voltage is supplied to the drive motor. Start voltage is also sensed through the blue/black wire that is connected to the P1-5 Start Sense pin on the control board. When the control board senses the start voltage, it normally applies 48 volts DC voltage through the Pink/Black wire to the motor relay to hold the contact closed between the two blue wires attached to the motor relay that supplies normal run voltage to the drive motor. With the start button taped down, the motor continues to run since it gets voltage through the closed start button. Since the motor stops running when the start button is released, it indicates that you have one of these 3 failures:
Broken or disconnected Start Sense wire.
Failed electronic control board that is not sending the 48 volts DC voltage through the motor relay Failed motor relay. Wiring failure between the components.
Since the motor relay and the heater relay are both exactly the same part, you could unplug the dryer and switch the motor and heater relay to see if the dryer will stay running. If it does, then you just need to order and replace the bad relay.
dr is door error
this generation of dryer has alot of control board failures(the relay for the heat burns the terminals for the wires)
you can inspect these relay connection visably by removing the front control panel
you might want to try setting the machine to the fluff/air dry setting and try starting the dryer, if it starts in air fluff you need to check the connections on that relay
this is not a factory taught test.
its just something a customer pointed out one time and i have tried on many after the fact, and for whatever reason these machines will still run in fluff mode when the board is gone.
Based on the description provided, it sounds like there could be an issue with the start button or the control board on your Haier RDE 350 AW dryer.
Check that the start button is not stuck or malfunctioning. If the button is stuck, it may not be able to send the proper signal to the control board to start the dryer.
If the start button is working properly, the issue may be with the control board. The control board is responsible for sending power to the various components of the dryer, including the motor. If the control board is malfunctioning, it may not be able to send the necessary power to the motor, resulting in the clicking noise you're hearing.
If the above solutions don't resolve the issue, it's best to contact Haier customer service for further assistance. They can provide troubleshooting steps or arrange for a technician to come out and look at the dryer. Request for a senior technician or supervisor to take a look at it and provide a resolution.
If the click is on the relay then check on the power to the motor, If there is power and it wont turn , the motor can be defective. But if there is no conectivity from the contactor then the controller relay can be faulty.
It will be good to inspect your observations before we can confirm on the exact point of fault.
Please comment.
That should be just a push to start switch. The start switch is inside the motor. When the motor turns fast enough it trips an internal switch to keep the motor running. It sounds like you have a motor on the way out.
dryer wont start
When the start button is pushed, you hear clicking noises but the dryer does nothing else.
