My dryer tries to start however after holding the start button for a few seconds you will hear a clicking noise then it shuts off. About 2 minutes later I hear a clicking noise again. I push the start button and again the same process happens. What could be the issue?

Rebekah for Model Number whirlpool dryer LE5770XWW0

Answer Rebekah, It sounds like the unit centrifugal switch has gone bad on the motor and would need to have a new motor 279827.

My Kenmore dryer starts and stops numerous times before it will run a full drying cycle. Each time it turns off you have to restart it and many times it will stop immediately or after a short period of time. Once it decides to run it dries well. Any ideas on what might cause this? Thanks.

I have a LEP6848A whirlpool dryer. It will not start. I already changed the heating element 4391960 and the thermal fuse 3392519. And still no go, what should I check/replace next?

Peter Palomo for Model Number LEP6848A

Answer Hi Peter, if it won't start, the first thing I would look at is the "push to start" switch 3395395. Here's a link with common things to look for on a dryer. Hope this helps! http://www.appliancepartspros.com/repair-help/dryer-repair-help.html#electric

Just like in the previous question, I too removed my motor start relay, part# 337851. When I removed the two screws the switch immediatly seperated into two pieces and the fell out. I removed the switch because my dryer would not start. When pressing the start switch on console there was a loud buzzing sound like the sound of an ac motor with voltage applied, but unable to start. The motor itself checkout ok with an ohmmeter, suggesting the brushes are probably still good and I can turn it freely by hand. Would you agree that the motor start relay may be bad (it is now since I can't figure out how to get it back together). Thanks.

Average, Joe for Model Number Whirlpool dryer LFI5801A0

Answer Hello Average, Joe. It could be the motor switch 3388235 that needs to be replaced, but most likely it is the complete motor that is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. You can order and replace the motor switch and if it does not fix the issue, return it and replace the motor assembly. If the motor is ohming good, you may get by with just the switch.

Zeke for Model Number 110.86194100 61941

Answer Zeke, Are you sure you wired the door switch properly 691361 When the door is opened, the circuit supplies power to the drum light, when the door is closed, the switch supplies the circuit to the motor. If the light is on all the time, the switch is wired incorrectly, has lost the circuit to the motor or a wir is shorted. Thanks

Well the switch checks ok with an ohm meter off the motor so its the motor or timer?

Joe

Answer Hello Joe. If the motor is testing good, then it sounds like the timer is the issue with the unit. You can remove the wires from the heater and trace the dead wire to see where you are loosing power at. Be careful, you are dealing with live power here.
