Dryer want start

[bones252100]

Check circuit breakers. Is it still plugged in the power receptacle securely? Is the door closed securely? This is the reverse order of checking.

mcarterfresno - if I under stand your problem right <you have power to all the switchs? Have you tested the switches as I laid out in my post above? If not you need to test them as I described :: If you have then try what I am writeiong in this post::{ to test the overload protector and the centrifugal switches on the motor :note -on some modles thes two parts are inside the motor and is not accessible:: You will have to take the motor off and carry it to a appliance repair shop or a motor repair shop:: Now to test the overload protector- #1- remove both wires from the protector and clip the meter probes to the wire terminals:: {note - meter is still set to the rx1-scale;power is off:: If the meter reads {zero ohms the part iis good if a high reading <it is defective -replace :: Test the centrifugal switch the same way :: I hope this answers your question :: If it does -please rate my answer in the orange box below : Have a great day and giod bless ::f.b.e.
