Mary for Model Number hydx100em1ww

My dryer timer knob cylinder broke and have used pliers to turn it the last few times to turn the timer and cut it on with no problems. This last time the push button worked and turned the dryer on but it immediately stopped when released, it did that each time I pressed it for three times and now does not work at all. I have tried moving the timer knob to different locations and tried each location with no success. I am replacing the timer knob and insert but wondering if now the switch is not bad as well?

Answer

Mary, The switch is most likely not the issue with the unit not starting. You can test the switch for continuity when pressed but will most likely be a issue of a bad motor on the unit. The motor has a centrifugal switch built into it that if it is not engaging then it will cause this issue.
