Question about Fisher and Paykel DG05 Gas Dryer

1 Answer

Kenmore Dryer Have a Kenmore Dryer and you have to hold the Start button to keep it running. It is 5 yrs old and everything under the sun was replaced at one point. It will turn on when you press the button- and as soon as you let go- it shuts off. The vent is clear. Last time I believe Sears replaced the control panel. We did not renew the warranty. Please advise! Thank you

The start button works like a push-on switch that engages the timer switch. It's all one unit. It isn't engaging because the internal lever the engages the switch is either broken or worn out. The start timer/switch will need to be replaced.

Must hold start button to run. no heat
disconnect power and remove lid. Test the door switch w a volt meter do so opening and closing the door not pushing switch if circuit stays open try pushing switch with finger. If pushing closes circuit then adjust switch.If circuit stays open replace switch. If switch operates with no problems then it is the motor. Check all connections and vacuum lint from motor

Kenmore 73954 : Only runs when the START button is continuously pressed
The start button starts the motor heater and energizes a relay that latches closed to keep the motor and heater running untill the timer switch or door switch cut the power to the relay and the relay opens.
The latching relay has failed or disconnected
if all the cables are attached to the relay
replace relay
not an expensive item, usualoly good for 10years
dryer circuits look like this, the start switch and relay are drawn just to the right of the motor, this diagram has no relevance to the physical position of the parts

Need help with OLD dryer
IF YOU MEAN THAT THE DRYER STARTS BACK UP WHEN YOU CLOSE THE DOOR, THE PUSH TO START SWITCH IS SHORTED. CHECK TO SEE IF THE PUSH TO START BUTTON IS STUCK PRESSED IN AND NOT SPRINGING BACK OUT.
IF IT IS STUCK, TRY WD-40 TO LOOSTEN IT. OTHERWISE, REPLACE THE SWITCH.

IF THE DRYER KEEPS RUNNING WHEN YOU "OPEN" THE DOOR, THE DOOR SWITCH IS SHORTED. REPLACE THE DOOR SWITCH.

After removing some clothes to line dry, the dryer (DG05) would not restart. There was a "humming" sound, almost like the sound of a gear turning, in the control panel. I unplugged it and 2 hours later, the dryer will start.
