    Sears Dryer Model # 11060202990
    I started my dryer last night and it ran for a few minutes and then just stopped. Now it won't come on. Should I replace the start button?

    Most likely it is not the start button itself.

    The first thing I would do is check that the circuit breaker isn't tripped. (I know, I know) Do it anyway... it's easy and fast. Even if it looks okay, flip it off and back on.

    If that doesn't help, I'd check the thermal fuse (located in the back). It's not exactly fun to find, but generally not too bad.

    Here is a link to get you started.

    Best of luck,
