Default Clothes Dryer not starting


"landshrk4" wrote in message

Can anyone tell me where I should begin my troubleshooting? I am not

familiar with how a dryer
works but can repair if assisted with instructions.


You do not even say if this is gas or electric, although the interlocks are
similar on both models.

Pull the front bottom panel off and you should find an electric schematic
diagram pasted there. Most dryers have them.
If you do not find a schematic for your specific unit, it may be difficult
to troubleshoot, but there are only so many variations, so get one from you
neighbor or friend and it'll give you an idea where the interlocks
(switches) are in the ckt.

This will be your map for troubleshooting. Need at least VOM. If you do
not know what VOM is, get a friend to who has one to help you. Suspect the
problem is simple, such as door switch, as others have said.
