Dryer suddenly quit. It has power because the interior light works, but it just doesn't start. No noises or odd behavior to report. Want to track down the issue and due the repair Asap, but we leave for a week in a couple of days. A quick fix or a hidden reset button would do very nicely here. Any Ideas?

May be a broken belt or thermal fuse.
Some dryers have a switch that will prevent the dryer motor from running when the belt that turns the drum breaks. Others have a thermal fuse that does the same thing if the dryer should overheat due to a blockage in the venting. There are other causes for this issue, but these two are the most common.

Post your brand and model number so we can tell which style you have.

How do I gete my interior lights to quit coming on all of a sudden for no reason and the car is off?

You could pull the fuse, but that will probably kill the memory power to the radio. The problem could be one of the door sensors.

Why would my older Maytag Neptune Electric dryer suddenly quit? Interior light comes on when door opened, but when I press start, it shudders but doesn't tumble or start?

if thermal fuse ok you may have a problem with your interface board. Check thermal cut out, door switch and thermal fuse before suspecting board. Obviously need model to give you more accurate info.

My interior lights wont shutt off on my 1995gmc jmmy unplugged all door sensors

More than likely it is a short somewhere in your electrical system. Check the water escape tube located in the center pillar of the car because if these get clogged, the water will enter the roof center controls where the interior lights are in the center of the roof. often times it is that this backlogged water can cause a minor short in the circuitry and then this will lead to sporadic odd behavior in the interior lights. they often will go on and off without your commanding it to do so, or sometimes they might stay on even though the doors are closed and so forth. when working on resolving the short, always unplug your negative battery cable to prevent you from hurting the vehicles main computer ECU unit. you will need a multimeter to assist you at finding the short. Also always pay attention to the ground wires in that they get rusted and corrosion can also cause odd and unique behaviors. good luck.

Electrical on but dryer does not start

Sounds silly, but because it's an electric dryer, it's run on a 220 line. Double check your breaker box to make sure both breakers are in the correct position. If only one breaker is in the correct position, you'll have electrical power, but the drum won't spin.

Screen doesn't adjust to the way its being held

Try a hard reset by holding the Power button down for 60 seconds, then release. Wait 60 seconds and turn the tablet back on, if the Kindle continues to act odd, contact Amazon for a replacement, this is not normal behavior and may be a sign of something serious failing.

Mk4 gti vr6 has power but doesn't start, runs with pop start

Could be a number of things but may want to begin by checking wiring to starter, battery, or even the ignition switch. These components may not turn your engine light on.

Can your car stall if there is a timing chain issue

The timing belt/chain could have jumped a 'tooth'.
Did this 'new' behavior start all-of-a-sudden, or did it slowly get worse??

My dishwasher surges at the start and end of the cycle but still washes ok. Is this a problem, it doesn't sound right?

Some dishwashers depending on their programming rotate the motor impeller backwards at the start and end of the cycle to clear blockages, Also they can sound like they are surging if the water is a bit harder than it expects,
Keep and eye on the machine, as long as it doesn't demonstrate any other odd behavior it will be fine.
