Kenmore dryer problem
"Susan Thomas" wrote in message ...
Instead of pushing the start switch to turn on my dryer, it comes on automatically when I turn the timer on. Is this dangerous? Should I replace the switch? Thank you for your reply. Hi, Instead of pushing the start switch to turn on my dryer, it comes on automatically when I turn the timer on. Depending on make/model#....might be a stuck/welded closed start switch, a motor stuck in the run position, motor switch clogged up with lint, shorted/burnt wire. Is this dangerous? Yes, a child -could- turn the timer on with the door open, climb in and have the door close and the dryer will run without anybody pushing the start switch....not common but possible. Should I replace the switch? Only if that is found to be the trouble maker. jeff. Appliance Repair Aid http://www.applianceaid.com/ |
