I have a clothes dryer with a 120VAC push to start button. In measuring the
terminals, both sides are hot (120V) with respect to ground and zero volts
across the two terminals. Why is that?

I thought there was a short on one side of the push button but the dryer is
working properly. Normally it should be hot only on one side.
