Dryer on Frigidaire Combo won't do anything

I’ve had this Frigidaire combo(washer/dryer) for almost 3 years. It came with the house I bought. It didn’t work when I first got it so I changed the motor and nothing. I let it sit for about 2 years then I thought I’ll try to fix it. I put a new push start switch and timer in it and it ran great for about a month. It started making rattling sound. It was the drum moving. So I put on a new rear bearing and it was still rattling, but would only start if I pushed on the inside. I just replaced the felt on the dryer and it came on for less than a second. I change the motor back to the original one and still didn’t do anything. I checked the thermal limiter and got either .001 Ohms out of it. I also checked high limit thermostat and got something around .500 Ohms. I had the multimeter set on 2000 Ohm setting.

What should I look for now? Washer still works fine.

You say it would only start when you pushed on the inside. Can you give us a more detailed description of what you were doing, where you were pushing etc.

It may be that with all of your work on the machine you have a loose connection or broken wire. That is the area I would certainly start with.

Good luck, let us know if you find something.

Before I replaced the felt seal, I could push the door switch and the start button and push on the inside of the drum to get it to go.

I have a wiring diagram of the dryer and just don’t know what else to check. I also tried by passing the door switch and still wouldn’t do anything. No noises, no movements, nothing.
