    Whirlpool dryer suddenly won't start
    Whirlpool dryer won't start. Don't know why? I was using it. it was working. after the timer went off I restarted it. it started. then I went back and checked my clothes, they were damp. Pushed the start button again. and the dryer did nothing. I don't understand why? Is there a reset button if so where exactly is it?

    Is there electric to it? Breaker tripped? Fuses blown? Still plugged in? Could be a faulty timer, start button, door switch, motor, drive belt... The possibilities are many and unless you are familiar with reading schematics and electrical troubleshooting you best call a repairman. I don't know the model of your unit. But there is no general 'reset' button that I know of.

    Whirlpool electric dryer - less than 10 year old.

    Will not start. Tried replacing the thermal fuse, no luck.

    How do we replace the door switch?

Whirlpool Gold dryer won't start [ 2 Answers ]

I have a Whirlpool Gold with Senseon model GE/GX 9868J dryer. It is about 6-8 years old. When I push the start button, I hear a click, but it won't start. It has the smooth buttons, not knobs. I really don't want to spend a fortune having someone come out to look at it.
