Electric dryer problem
I have a Kenmore dryer that is about 6-7 years old. When I press the
"start" button, the dryer motor starts up and begins to run. However, when I release the "start" button, the motor stops. This happens on all timer settings. I left my tools at a jobsite so I haven't been able to open the back to get the model number. Any suggestions? TIA Chuck |

It also turns the heating element off if the motor stops. Al |

This happens on all timer settings. I left my tools at a jobsite so I haven't been able to open the back to get the model number. Any suggestions? First, open up the front door and see if the model number is there. It is on my Kenmore dryer. Then go to this site: http://www3.sears.com/ Input your model number and you can look at an exploded diagram of the whole machine and the correlated parts list. Then you can buy your replacement part right there online. Easy as cake. I have done just this to fix my washer, dryer and refrigerator. Hope this helps, Tomes |
