Dryer Start Button is not Working

From user manual:

3. LOW TEMP. button
Pressing this button allows drying to be performed at a lower temperature, for delicate items.
The corresponding pilot light comes on.
This option can also be used for time controlled drying.
This option cannot be selected with QUICK.

6. NO BUZZER button
A buzzer sounds
• when selecting the programme
• when depressing the buttons
• when an incorrect option selection is made
• when the programme selector dial is turned to another position
during the programme or when you depress an option button
during the cycle
• at the end of the programme and during the anticrease phase
• if the machine is not working correctly
By depressing the button the acoustic signal is switched on.

Perhaps you need to depress the button for an extended period if time, a process that eliminates accidental starts with a quick button depression.

There is a centrifugal switch inside the motor that is not working. The switch breaks the start capacitor and makes to line voltage so the motor will continue to run once the start button is released

Unplug it and check the connection inside where the cord attaches to the machine. I have seen these come loose.

You will need to replace the control panel. The button is pressed in the down position and won't allow you to do anything else till this part is replaced.

Check house fuses or circuit breaker.
Pull 220V cord from wall outlet and inspect the gold prongs.
If you see any burnt areas on the prongs the outlet is bad.

If the unit makes no noise when you press the start button check the dryer door switch and make sure it clicks when depressed.
Sometimes the door switch arm can break off so when the door closes
the door switch cannot be activated.

If you hear a growl noise when you press the start button 2 things...
1. The motor is bad and needs replacing.
2. An object fell down the lint trap and is preventing the motor from turning.

Also if the dryer vent has been plugged causing the dryer to over heat a saftey fuse may have blown and needs replacement.

Hi, your start push button is malfunctioning. simply replacing this start switch will fix your issue.

The starting capacitor has low storage of current some are open or shorted , need to replace the starting capacitor.
