How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before testing switches or relays.
- Verify door closure: Ensure the door is fully closed and latches securely. Check for obstructions around the door seal.
- Test door switch: Access and test the door switch for proper continuity when the door is closed. Replace if defective.
- Check belt switch: On models with a belt switch, ensure the belt is intact and the switch is engaged. Replace the switch if it does not change state when the idler moves.
- Listen for relay: If you hear a click from the control but the motor does not start, the motor relay or motor itself may be faulty. Further testing with a multimeter is required; consider professional service.
