Possible Causes

Door not fully closed or faulty door switch, Child lock function activated, Faulty Start button or user interface, Control board start relay failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before removing any panels.

  • Check door and latch: Close the door firmly until you hear a positive click. Inspect the latch and strike for damage.
  • Verify child lock: Check the display for a key or lock symbol. Deactivate the child lock according to the user manual (often by holding a specific button combination).
  • Test door switch: Listen for a click when closing the door. If accessible, test the switch with a multimeter for proper operation.
  • Check Start button: If the Start button feels loose or unresponsive, the user interface may be faulty. Access the control panel and inspect the switch contacts.
  • Control relay: If all external causes are ruled out, the start relay on the control board may be defective and the board may need replacement.
