Hotpoint dryer dlb2450bdlad. Bought new 15 yrs ago and has been in storage ever since. I tried to operate it recently. It works fine when engaging start switch but stops when switch is released.

slipping belt =should be tight,bearing worn=should be change,pls try only if you are an electrical specialist

You need to check the charging system. This year is notorious for alternator problems.

It is your ignitor.

TO Bearing is Bad and Trans WILL Be Intermitten With Proper Operation one time and Improper Another, Also Check Flywheel Thickness Against Specs

You can buy the control board yourself for about $200 and install it yourself. It could be a fuse inside that had blown too, Email me at [email protected] if you have any questions

TRY CHANGING THE THERMOSTAT.

could be 2 things 1)try closing the door and banging the machine on the front next to where your door catch goes into the washer if it starts could have a lose wire or be faulty 2)if no1 doesnt work than it will be your mains filter which if blown power doesnt get to your machine if the machine is brand new and has manufacturers warranty then these are covered through the warranty and any tampering will void your warranty though should be covered for no less than a year
