Issue: Dryer blower in mens room
startsup only after multiple presses
of button, or, strong slam of button
or two.

What is causing it to not start after
one press every time? There are
no discussions of this issue with
this blower on line, anywhere.


Burnt contacts in the switch, or loose and corroded wiring to it.

Failing armature, commutator or brushes in the motor.

Maybe other things. But that's where I'd look first.


Or just replace it with a paper towel dispenser.....
The towels work without drying your hands on your pants before using
that worthless hand dryer.....
