My whirlpool cabrio dryer start button is flashing and when i push it nothing happens. the front door is closed and light is off. how can I trouble shoot this myself. Joe

  • m sami Apr 15, 2023

    Hi Joe! Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

    Check the power supply: Make sure the dryer is properly plugged into a working outlet and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If the dryer isn't getting power, the start button won't work.

    Check the door switch: Even though the door is closed, the door switch might be malfunctioning and not registering that the door is closed. Try opening and closing the door a few times to see if that helps. If it doesn't, you might need to replace the door switch.

    Check the thermal fuse: If the dryer overheats, the thermal fuse will blow and the dryer won't start. You can check the thermal fuse with a multimeter to see if it's working properly.

    Check the control board: If none of the above solutions work, the control board might be malfunctioning. Unfortunately, testing and replacing the control board can be tricky and might require a professional.

Just took my Whirlpool Dryer out of the box. Plugged it in and all the lights are flashing and Only goes off if I unplug it. :(

    You will have to run the tests in the manual.It should tell you what to do if the diagnostic mode can not be entered. If you remove the top the tech manual should be under there.There are screws along the back edge of the top to remove it.You need to put the machine into its diagnostic mode.It should give a code as to what is the problem.The tech manual will tell you how to do this. Hope this helped..Happy New Years Tim

Turn on power, the lights come on but when you press start nothing happens just a click sound.

Click sound at power button and start button should get it going. If not then Dryer drum is not turning.

Dryer has power - we can hear the timer ticking and the light comes on when the door is opened, but when we push the start button nothing happens model # leq9558ko 8 yrs old electric

does the light close when the door is closed??? poosible that the door switch has gone bad. or a bad thermal fuse behind the unit is also a common culprit of this.. its a white thermostat on back of unit behind the panel (-----------------------) approx this long ad white,,
