Have an older Kenmore series 70 dryer. It will not start. I have checked the thermal fuse and there is full power to the unit. There is power at the on/off switch. I suspect the switch but want to be sure before ordering part. Door switch appears OK and I have tried starting the dryer in various cycle settings Thanks.

Alan L.

Answer Hello Alan. The start switch should read closed for continuity when pressed. If it does, then it is good. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Press the dryer start button and dryer starts to turn, when you let go and it stops turning, smells hot like something overheating.

The timer runs and never stops. The buzzer stays on when the cycle ends. I show continuity on the switch when it isn't actuated. Do you think this is a bad switch? I replaced the timer already as it wouldnt advance.

Answer Hello Ron, If the switch shows continuity without actuating it, it is bad and requires replacement. I couldn't look the part up for you as there is no valid model number posted.

start/buzzer switch- buzzer stays on when turned on, timer advance motor runs constantly through cycles...swith bad? have replaced timer already since it went bad recently

Ron for Model Number 97374200 73742

Answer Ron, Did you check and make sure you attached the buzzer wires to the correct timer terminals ? Yes check the start switch for a "momentary" closed circuit, when the button is pressed, or replace the switch. The alternative would be, a faulty motor circuit or white(N) wire to or from the motor and timer. Thanks and Good Luck

Dryer has started on its own a few times, without pushing the start button. It seems if the door is closed (as it usually is), the timer will keep moving, after a normal cycle, and the dryer will turn itself on again, even without a push of the start button. Door switch is okay, timer seems to be working, and the start button feels okay, but could the start button be made up all the time and restarting the cycle on its own? Thank you

Paul D. for Model Number 110.97374200

Answer Hello Paul. Here is the part number for the timer 3398190. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the contacts inside the timer are sticking and causing the timer to advance and continue running. It does not sounds like the start switch on the unit. Hope this helps.

Dryer won't shut off, after the door is shut.

Linda S. for Model Number 110.96576410

Answer Linda, A bad or "sticky" start switch 3395385 could be the problem, but not likely. It's only a momentary switch, and is on the neutral side of the circuit. Have you run the dryer on the "timed dry" selection, and did it "shut off" ? At this point, the more likely issue would be a bad door switch 279347 or timer assembly 3398190 Good Luck.
