Try to turn on but it wont stay on

When we press the start button it turns on for a moment. if we jiggle the start button sometimes it stays on. More offten than not it goes off after a fews seconds. every once in awhile it stays on thru the whole cycle

    I have the same issue, posted earlier today. One suggestion was the timer motor, but still need more specifics on how to confirm as a new timer motor is ~$100.

    dryer will not run unless you gently pull on the timer knob... if you let go it will sometimes continue to run ... but often not problem does not seem to be in start button

If that dryer has a 4 wire start switch which simply twists a quarter turn to get off then replace it.

Dryer does not stay running. Press the start button and sometimes it starts and sometimes not. Won't stay running. Seems to heat ok. Sometimes displays E9E on the display.

There can be many reasons why your dryer will not start or turn...

The most common causes are the belt breaking or jumping off, or the motor going bad...

Car turns but won't stay running

Check fuel pump fuse and all other fuses, check brake switch, Also, a worn ignition switch will cause the car to start sometimes but not always. Try turning the switch to on position, then jiggle the key around in the switch while pushing in a bit...now start the car...did it start? If yes, replace switch and/or key cylinder....

The screen wont turn on anymore. the buttons can sometimes but the screen stays black.

When you say the buttons "sometimes" lite up, do you mean just when they feel like it or only when you power it up or off? And is it making any noise when you power it up? If they're only working when you turn it on and then they go off, then you have a firmware problem and you need to have it re-flashed.. If they turn on and stay on, and it makes noises (like you can hear the keytones when ya press them) then it has got a bad LCD and that's a pretty inexpensive fix (check Ebay for a replacement screen)

Low battery, wont' charge in car

I pushed the reset button, on the side,during the brief moment that it stays powered up. Now it is staying on with the wall plug.
I'll let that stay on for a while and then try to keep charging it with it turned off.
