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.


Looking at that image, it looks like a copy/clone/license of another
brand called 'World Dryer'.

A youtube video shows a synchronous motor in the guts of the timer.

Could the motor be needing some lubrication to overcome starting inertia?
