    Kenmore Dryer won't Start 90 Series
    The dryer has worked for several years without a problem. But suddenly, without warning it won't start. There is no sound or action.

    I have checked the:
    Push to start switch
    Door switch
    Thermostat
    Thermo cutoff switch
    Thermal fuse
    Timer (This I only checked for continuity when set at 60 minutes. This area also contains a small board.)

    The input voltages are OK up to the Push to Start switch. The rest I checked for continuity.

    What other hints would you have?Is there any kind of reset switch anywhere?
    Thanks,
    Fairfield

    Strange! You have 220voltage in. When you check the switches and fuses did you disconnect a wire from one end of them and check for continuity? Try putting a jumper wire around each of them one at a time and see what happens. Shut power off first when attaching jumper to switch. Then turn power on and with door closed turn time to a dry setting and push the on switch What happens now? Work safe around this. Don't want you getting fried. Post back with results.
