Dryer will come on but wont start. Sensing light is on

Suggest you check the dryer belt.

The dryer control knows the motor is turning, hence "beep" acknowledges command to start(with no faults) and the sensing moister state. What it doesn't know is the drum belt has broken or otherwise and is no longer turning the drum.

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 going bad...

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

Dryer door does not think it is closed. There is a sensor on the top of the door that is probably not making contact with the door. Trying pushing the top part of the door and holding it then press the start button.. if the unit starts running then you know what it is. I just had one of these dryers delivered today and had to find out about this by myself tonight!!

Ours was doing the same thing you would hear a click and nothing but the sensing light. I found the thermal fuse to be blown Part #3392519. Easy to get to through the front cover under the load door. I went ahead and vacuumed and cleaned out the inside and vent tube.

Hello dram65,
Check the door interlock switch, if that's malfunctioning or not sensing the door is closed.. it will disable the drying function,

you have a blown thermal fuse. you can get one where they have parts it is about 5 dollars.

Commonproblems...blown house fuse, broken belt ( on some models )...door switch...*thermal fuse open (venting needs attention )...broken or burnt wire....timer....motor, in order from mostcommon to least common. * If you find a blown thermal fuse, always clean, change, adjust the ventingsystem and vent hood first, then it is often a good idea to replace the operatingthermostat at the same time. This is a picture of some modernthermal fuses.



I hope this will solve your issue.

Good Luck

If my solution proves useful please accept it.

The repairman just took the front off my dryer and cleaned the dust from the components, now it works just fine, and I had the same problem as you.

well the sensing light will stay on till it feels wet clothes against it if you in auto dry mode it says it wont start without feeling wet clothes against the silver bars in the vent housing it says it will run in manuel mode even if it doesn't feel them pull the top off the dryer and on the right hand side is a tech service sheet in a plastic bag see what it says
