My GE Profile dryer worked fine yesterday. I tried to dry a load today but the dryer won’t start up. The light inside lights up but nothing else happens. No noise, nothing. I took the top apart to check for broken or frayed wires but I see nothing wrong. This is an electric dryer. Any thoughts?
I wish I could help you. My dryer did the same thing (Kenmore Electric), but my light is out. The lightbulb is busted and kind of stuck inside the holder, for lack of a better word. I’m wondering if this is the cause of my problem. It had been working fine and then nothing.

linner40,
If you are looking for help to diagnose the problem with your dryer, post the complete model number of the dryer and a more specific description on the problem.

Hi Gene. My Kenmore Dryer model number is 3979997. I noticed that the bulb for the light is broken. Thx. Lynne
Tenant complains both broiler and oven do not light- the top burners are fine.
Why both problems. Did have some mice in unit-
could wires be chewed? I’ll check .If not,does anyone have an alternative diagnosis.
It would be unusual for both oven elements to fail at the same time (if in fact they did) so if the elements are not heating and they stopped at the same time, there could be a problem in the wiring to the electronic control or in the electronic control itself.
I don’t see any other components in that model in common with both elements that would stop their operation.
BTW. Ignitors are only used on gas ranges.
