Default Kenmore Elite dryer won't start

Yeah that probably would, no idea why I didn't put that in the
original post. It's 110.63952102.

Again, the dryer wouldn't start until I unplugged it and plugged it
back in. It then ran for 20 minutes no problem (heat/tumble both
working fine). I then checked it after the 20 minutes to ensure it
was making heat (openned the door, which of course stopped the
cycle). Then I couldn't get it going again. I unpluged/plugged it a
couple times no dice. The pushed the button a few times holding it
down. I finally got it going and let it finish. Now today, it seems
to be fine. So something is flaking out and is ready to go.....

We have a 5 year old Kenmore Elite electric clothes dryer. *It has
worked flawlessly until last night. *When I push the start button it
runs fine, until I let go of the button. *As soon as I let go of the
button the dryer stops. *I unplugged and plugged back in the power and
it worked fine until the next load. *This time unplugging and plugging
back in did not help. *Pushing the button several times finally got it
to work. *The dryer worked fine the day before and was not hot the
first time it wouldn't start. *Any idea what I'm looking at??


I read an older article online about these dryers having a bad
computer board costing over $100. *Anyone else hear of this? *This
discussion also had some peoiple saying there was a Sears Service
flash that would cover out of warranty work (and some people got it)
others claimed Sears denied any such service flash. *Is there a way to
find Sears service flashes online? *Anyone know the best way to
approach Sears on this (in trying to get them to cover it)?


Thanks!
