So my dad and I are trying to figure out why our dryer won’t start. We’ve run through the list of the "usual suspects" and nothings come up.
Symptoms:
The dryer will not start. A self-diagnostic routine of the dryer indicated that the panel will light up - so it doesn’t seem to be a panel issue.
We did a continuity test on the thermal fuse, and it was closed at room temperature (registered zero) — and when we applied heat to it, it did register on the device. So that appears to be working as well.
The door switch also appears to be working. We removed it and tested that as well - it registered and appeared to be in good working condition.
We also vacuumed out the vents and the unit itself.
There is no blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.
Any suggestions???
Thank you VERY much!!
Amy
