Kenmore dryer 2002 Push to start will start motor but will not stay on.
 

I press the "push to start" button. If I keep my finger pressed on
the "push to start" button the motor will run. If I let go, the motor
will stop.
I have checked the PTS, the door switch, the belt switch. The thermal
resistor is ok. I am thinking it is the electronic control. Are
there any further tests to verify this.

Thanks

Hi,

Model#? Kenmore is made by several different companies and each
company even has a few different styles.

Some model# helps.

I am thinking it is the electronic control.

If your dryer is an "Even Heat" style dryer, this may help....

If it has an Evenheat Control (usually says that on the control panel,
or in the parts list), then it is probably that.
