I have a kenmore elite drier and when I push the start button in it starts but as soon as let go it stops. I put duct tape over the button and let the machine go for about 40 minutes, and it didn't even warm up. What do I do?:confused:

You have to open the housing and check for thermal overloads being open circuit.

These overloads trips due to over temperature. These would prevent the units from heating up.

About the push button issue, if you find a thermal overload being open, it might solve both problems.

If not, let me know and we will trouble shoot it further.

Tnx 4 using AMHD,
