Took delivery of a Kenmore Elite HE3 electric dryer yesterday. Tried to dry my first load this morning and can't get it to start. All the lights are functional, the door is closed tightly (cliccks, I can change the Options and Modifiers but when I press the start button all I get is 3 beeps but no error messages. Relatively new home, power is adequate... I'm baffled. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem... but discovered that the door only appears to be securely shut. The top latch isn't securely seated, if I press hard on the top center of the door the drum light goes out and the dryer starts. The door won't stay latched so I'm looking to see what I am missing in the door adjustment.

Why would I expect a $1,000 dryer to work right out of the box... more importanty why do I still go to SEARS?
