I just recently got this dryer used. It was sitting out in the cold for a few days so I brought it in the house and let it warm up for an hour or so before plugging it in. I just hooked up my 220 line for it and when I plugged it in the light on the inside works fine but no power to the digital buttons at all. Dryer wont do anything
Did it run before you got it?also what's the model number on the dryer,open the door look around where you put the clothes in and you'll see a tag with the model and serial numbers on it,kenmore doesn't make anything the only way to tell who made it is by the model number,110. is whirlpool,417. is frigidaire,send the full model number,things to check and that it's wired correctly,not being a wiseguy but i've seen them wired wrong,open the door and check the door switch,push on it and you should hear a click and the light should turn off and on,if that's good make sure the belt isn't snapped,most dryers have a belt switch,if the belt breaks the dryer won't run,if that's good your gonna have to get in there with a meter and check the thermal fuse and t-stats on the blower wheel housing and on the heater box,these are the easiest things to check and hopefully you'll find something wrong or one of the t- stats popped.if the thermal fuse or high limit is popped clean out the duct that the lint filter slides down into,if the dryer can't move air because it's blocked with lint one of the t-stats will pop as a safety,you said you just hooked it up so it's not a blocked vent line also you could have a bad cycling t-stat or a grounded heater,if the dryer runs to hot one of the t-stats will pop and the dryer won't run,it's easy to check the heater,just stick one of your leads from your meter on the metal outside case of the heater and touch the other lead to one side of the element,do this to both sides of the element one at a time,if you get a reading the element is grounded if not it's ok.hope this helps you out if you need more help send the model number

You may only be receiving 110 volts, instead of the 240 volts needed to operate. (Thus, only the light coming on)
Did you reset the dryer circuit breakers?
Are you receiving 240v to the plug?

the reset is to unplug the washer for 5 minutes, if that doesn't reset it u may have a defective motor controller circuit board

I Have the Same problem. My Dryer has no display but the inside light works! IT MAKES ME CRAZY... Because once in a while it will work fine for a few days.. and then """POOF""" no display! It seems to have a mind of its own! My matching Catalyst Washer has the same sort of issues. And with both (washer and dryer) when they do work they wount always let me change settings. The dryer will only work on [perm. press]. I think there is a short some where in the display .. or it is a problem with the 'computer' in it.
