Kenmore 80 series electric dryer wont start

the door trigers a switch when you open & close the door its needs replaced as for the light replace the bulb

mine just did the same thing yesterday took it apart and found that the thermal fuse is blown so gonna replace that and hopefully solve the problem. i did however jump the wires direct and dryer started.

I have a Kenmore 80 series electric dryer. The light comes on when the door is open so I know it is getting power but dryer will not turn on. Is the push button not working or can I reset the dyer?

If this is a new element, this is normal until it has been used a few cycles. Use it and watch it carefully for a while. If it continues have a competent person to take the rear panel off and check for burnt wires or lint inside the unit.

bypass door switch , if that doesnt work and you have replaced start switch already. then i would unplug unit remove back panel and look for the blower housing , on the blower wheel housing or to the right should be a white thermostat with 2 wires going to it.round shaped and it mounts to the blower housing by pass it and it should work however dont leave it bypassed. hope this helps

check the door switch , a little arm that clicks in when the door is closed. check to see if it clicks or if its even still there.

Check the door switch in the upper right of the door frame. Ours snapped off so the door wasn't contacting the switch anymore.
