A dryer that does nothing when Start is pressed may have a simple power or door problem, but it can also involve the motor or control circuit.
Common causes
- Tripped breaker or incorrect supply voltage
- Door not closing or failed door switch
- Failed push-to-start switch
- Motor or motor protection problem
- Timer or electronic control failure
- Loose, overheated, or broken wiring
Confirm the breaker is fully reset and the door latches normally. Stop and disconnect power if the cord, outlet, or terminal area looks overheated.
