I went to use my dryer and when I opened the door it was like no power. The interior light will not even come on. I checked the breaker, voltage in plug, even looked at where power cord connected into dryer but seems okay. It had worked fine the day before and there were not storms/power surges etc.

My Amana dryer was working fine and went to use it again and would not come on but light is on inside

Always check the breakers in your electrical breaker box in house first. I say this because it takes 2 for dryers one for coils and lights the other for motor and thermostats. Next check door switch by listening for contact click sound when you push the door closed if you hear it switch is good and most likely motor is bad.

Hello Paul

Can you check this following parts:

Make sure the dryer is plugged in securely
Check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker
Test the power outlet for voltage
Inspect the electrical cord for damage
Eliminate use of an extension cord, if any is being used
Check the outlet voltage
Test the door switch
Test the start switch
Test the safety fuse
Test the thermostats
Test the timer motor
Test the motor

2008 whirlpool dryer ,no light when i open the door and the power button does not work

sounds like a breaker or the plug is at fault. check for proper voltage at the plug if 220 the 2 flat bars should be 220 and one at a time to the other opening(s) should be 115 each.

if gas it will be 115 from the smaller opening to either of the other 2 .
check breaker turn off and on puish hard, even if it looks good turn off and back on to reset, then recheck the power.

Replaced timer on dryer because would not shut off sometimes. dryer was working while I had it open I was vacuuming out lint around drum and switches. had door open and light was on suddenly light went out...

if its on a circuit breaker,just switch the breaker off,then back on,they can drop out ,but still show good
if this is not the case,check the incoming power block inside the dryer as a burned off neutral conductor can result in the same condition

Power went out on dryer (including interior light)

Try resetting the dryer circuit breaker pair in the house electrical panel--push off, then on. If no help, look for a circuit breaker button on the back of the dryer. If still no help, then a voltmeter will be needed to service some portion of the dryer interior. You will need a wiring diagram to make sense of the voltage readings. Good luck!

Dryer interior light and motor will not turn on

plug something else into the wall outlet to make sure you're getting power there and try changing the bulb.if there is power check the door switch,move the paddle in and out and you should hear a clicking sound,if you don't change out the door switch,also check the back of the dryer at the block where the power cord connects to the dryer and make sure you have power there.also is there a gfi plug anywhere near the dryer that might have to be reset,i've seen this,also i've come across whoever wired the outlet switched the hot wire and the neutral around so when the machine is plugged in the wiring isn't correct

Lost power after opening door during cycle.

Try and flip the breaker to off again and push lightly then on , when a breaker trips somtimes just flipping it on it wont catch a latch inside the breaker to actually flip it on.

I have a Kenmore Elite HE3 dryer model # 110.8483220. It has no power. We tested the plug and it tests for 110V of power, and the wire connection at the top of the dryer (on the outside) has power. But...

Your dryer is electric. This means it needs 2 electrical phases (hot wires) and one neutral to wor. If you measure 110v across 2 phases - one of them is out.
Unplug the dryer. Find the double breaker for your dryer on the breaker panel.
Pull breaker to the off position hard (do not overdo it,as you can pull the breaker out), and then back to on position.
Check voltage between the two phases, it should read 220-240v. Check the voltage between each phase and the neutral (middle prong), should read 110-120v. If you don't get these readings - call electrician.
If you get the proper voltage, plug the dryer back in. If it does not work - Dryer needs repair. Likely a thermal fuse is blown or problem with power wiring inside.
