Hope someone can help:)
I have a Kenmore Elite Dryer... model 11072932100 and it stopped working. Every time the start button is released it stops spinning and it doesn't seem to heat up either. I've cleaned lint,etc...

Help...

There is probably a door switch that may be bent out of whack or no longer functional. Visually locate the switch and see if things work when you hold that switch closed (simulate the door being closed, in other words).

If the little tab is just bent, you can probably get it working yourself. If the switch itself is bad, you will probably need a service technician.

Good Luck,
