Gas Dryer Model
Here's the issue:
1. Push the start button and hold
2. the drum starts to rotate
3. Let go of the start button
Expect: The machine to keep running
Actual: The machine stops
Other Facts:
- When things started to go bad, we could hold the start switch and twist the timer and sometimes it would start
- We noticed that the drum does heat up if you hold the start down for a while, so the burner is working
- We get same result when ''Timed'' & ''Auto/Moisture Sensor'' is selected (pressing Start button, drum turns; let go of Start button, doesn't run anymore)
- We checked continuity on the starter switch while pressed - works
- We checked continuity on the door switch while engaged - works
- We checked continuity on the belt switch while pressed - works
- We replaced the Electronic control board with a new one - No change
- We replaced the timer selection nob with a new one - No change
Other hypothesis:
- Bad temperature sensor?
- Belt too loose and not engaging the belt switch?
We would like to avoid calling Sears Repair, which will cost $75 just for a trip charge with repair cost on top of that. Any ideas/help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
