Al for Model Number Kenmore 80 series electric dryer - model 110.64832400 I think my dryer has 2 problems. (1) If the dryer is running and I open the dryer door, it continues to run - that problem should be the Dryer Door Switch Assembly. (2) The dryer 'Push to Start' button will successfully start the dryer when the button is in the 'Signal On' position. The 'Push to Start' button will NOT turn the dryer off if it is pressed when in the 'Signal Off' position. Is that a problem with the 'Push to Start Switch' ?
Answer Al, The door switch WP3406107 or the wiring at the door switch is definitely a problem, the switch will most likely need to be replaced. The push to start switch WP3404233 should not be the issue. It is a "momentary" contact switch and completes the neutral side of the circuit to the motor. Once the motor starts and runs, the switch is out of the circuit. Check the signal switch circuit to make sure it "opens" and "closes" when the control switch is on or off. Then check the "T" terminal to the 'W" terminal, on the timer to make sure the circuit is "closed" on all the settings except the wrinkle guard setting. Read More...
