Electric dryer no start does nothing

Check dryer Terminal block prongs both outside prongs should give combined 220, and 110 each if u check 1 outside & 1 center (ground) prong. Also check house electrical outlet for full voltage.

CHECK THERMAL SHUT OFF THERMOSTAT USUALLY LOCATED ON THE BLOWER. for OHMS or resistance with a meter. Should show a closed circuit. Ohms WHEN THIS FUSE BLOWS IT WILL SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING.

NEXT Test the PUSH start switch with meter for OHMS. Should show OHMS when pushed in or on start, and no ohms or infinity when in off position.

If you hear a humming/clicking sound from motor area you more than likely have a bad motor.
Try this test out to see if u have weak windings or relay/capacitor on motor.
Open the dryer door and turn by hand the drum while machine is on ON position. And you or someone else presses the door engagement switch in. If it starts up then u have bad windings

Another thing to check is the belt safety switch. With a multi meter.
Especially if u just replaced the belt. The belt safety switch is attached to the Tensioner and motor. IT LOOKS LIKE A DOOR SWITCH SOMEWHAT a little black pc of plastic with 2 prongs going into it. Sits at bottom of motor. Under the Tensioner. Attach meter clips to the 2 prongs on switch, Then when the little white push button is pressed in it should show continuity and none when released.

Lastly check ur DOOR SWITCH for continuity with a meter when the button is pushed in the (on/Door closed position,) it may have gone bad.

Timer part #WE4M532. Where can I get a diagram showing wire colors and connections?

If you open the panel of the dryer, it has a diagram either glued to the door or a paper tucked inside some where.

My hot point washer won't spin. The motor works

There is an inline fuse on wrapped in the wiring harness that runs from the control panal down to the motor which will cause the problem you are describing

My Hotpoint tl61p tumble dryer made a loud bang, and now will not work, the timer justs buzz's? can anyone help please?

The load bang you heard was the idler pulley slamming into the frame more than likely. this is because your belt broke removing the tension suddenly. Put a new belt on and you'll be fine.

My dryer wont come on its a hotpoint model #dlb2650bgl the timer is ticking the interior light comes on my husband put a multi-meter on the start switch and shows power what else could the problem be

The first thing I would check is the door switch. If it isn't closed the dryer should not start - although the timer would be active. If it won't tumble or heat then that is the first thing I would check and on Hotpoint that is a high failure rate.

Our Hotpoint Microwave Model #RVM1435 won't heat. The blower, timer, clock, service light and vent all work, but there is no heat. Could it be the power control??

Unfortunately, it could be the magenetron (P/N: WB27X10017) that is bad. And they aren't cheap. But it could also be the thermostats (there are four of them) or the high voltage diode. Without being able to put a meter on things it is hard to say exactly what is going on.

The most likely in the magnetron, especially if it is very old and used often.

Hotpoint tumble dryer CTD00 timer

It is not a difficult job...the thing to keep you out of trouble is to make sure you get the right timer switch, then remove one wire at a time.
Remove one wire from the old timer and put it on the new timer, there is not that many wires for your timer.
I will include these two websites for parts and further help:
http://www.partselect.com/
http://www.appliancepartspros.com/index.aspx
Both also have chat assistance 24/7.
Good luck,
I hope this helps

The timer on my Hotpoint dryer doesn't work

More than likely the timer.  If it works automatic and timed it is definitely the timer.  You can usually find them on ebay with a decent warranty, or depending on how much confidence you have in your mechanical ability take the timer apart, look for the burned contacts, clean them with sandpaper and bend them SLIGHTLY.
