Switch, Push to Start

Brent R for Model Number MDE3000AYW

Answer Hello Brent. You need to test the switch and see if it reads closed without being pressed down. If so, replace the start switch on the unit. If not, replace the motor in the unit. 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 

Dale for Model Number MDG6000BWW

Answer Dale, the timer knob consist of the knob 22001659, skirt 33001621, and insert 22001664. You will need to inspect each part to verify which item is defective and replace. Thanks. 

Cindy O. for Model Number LDE9316ace

Answer Hello Cindy. You can test the push to start switch 33001618 and see if it reads closed when the switch is closed. If not, it needs to be replaced. If it is good, try turning the motor by hand with the door switch taped closed and see if the unit starts. If so, you will need to replace the motor. If it still does not run, you will need to test the thermal fuse 307473 on the dryer and see if the fuse is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Answer Hello David! The first thing you'll want to check is your unit's thermal fuse 307473. If it has burnt out, the dryer will not start. I hope this helps!

Answer Hello! Look for the door switch W10169313, after you open the door. Try manually pressing the switch in and see if the drum light goes off. If it's not going off you will need to replace the door switch. Thanks!
