Press the start button and nothing happens — drum stays still, no motor sound. A failed push-to-start switch is the most common cause of this symptom.
Dryer only runs while you hold the start button and stops the moment you release it, indicating the switch is not latching the circuit closed.
Dryer sometimes starts normally and other times requires multiple button presses or a long delay before responding — a sign of a failing switch with worn contacts.
The cycle-end signal buzzer cannot be turned on or off because this switch also controls the buzzer rotation function, not just the start action.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Know If Your Start Switch Has Failed
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Pressing the start button does nothing — no drum movement, no motor hum
⚠️ Dryer only runs while you hold the button and stops immediately upon release
⚠️ Intermittent starting — sometimes works, sometimes requires repeated button presses
⚠️ Cycle-end buzzer stuck on or off and cannot be toggled by rotating the knob
🛠 Diagnostic Tip: Before replacing, unplug the dryer and test the switch with a multimeter set to continuity/ohms. Press the button — a good switch reads near 0 ohms. A reading above 1 ohm or no change at all confirms the switch has failed. Also rule out a blown thermal fuse first, as it is another common cause of a no-start condition on these dryer platforms.
