When i select a cycle and then push start all i get is three beeps
If the only thing that happens is three rapid beeps when you select a feature from the console this is usually a symptom of a defective door switch. The door switch must be closed to complete the circuit from the timer to the heating circuit and drive motor. If the switch is bad, or the wiring is broken, the dryer will not run.
I opened the door and could easily push the door switch back and forth, but I still get three beeps. Whether the door is closed or I am manually holding the switch down, makes no difference, still three beeps. Does this mean my wiring is bad and I need to replace it? Or is there something else I'm missing?

Pull the tech sheet out of the dryer ( behind the lower front access panal ). The lights flashing are trying to tell you a fault code.
A copy:
MODEL DIFFERENCES:
• Better models have a digital readout display
• Good models do not have a digital readout display
READING ERROR CODES
1. Position cycle selector knob to the 3 O’clock position.
2. Press and hold the
Select and Pause Cancel buttons simultaneously for six seconds.
3. Immediately after, press and hold the START and Pause Cancel buttons simultaneously for 4 seconds.
4. Rotate the cycle selector knob to the 2 O’clock position.
On better model dryers, the error code will appear in the digital display. On good models, the five indicator lights of
Drying, Cool Down, Wrinkle Rid,
and Clean Lint Filter Spin will flash the number of times for the first digit of the code
and the START indicator light will flash the number of times for the second digit. Take separate counts of each indicator
light, then repeat to confirm in order to be accurate in identifying the proper error code. The code is obtained by counting
the number of times the lights flash. Example E24: The five indicator lights would flash twice indicating the 2 and the
START
indicator light will flash four times indicating the 4. The five indicator lights and the START indicator light start
flashing at the same time. The control will pause for 2 seconds, then repeat the code.
Note:
A letter appearing in the code stands for a number higher than nine.
A = 10 B = 11 C = 12 D = 13 E = 14 F = 15
Example Code E4A: the first digit would be 4 and the second digit would be 10. If this code would appear on a dryer in
the Good model line, the five indicator lights would blink four times and the START indicator light would blink ten times.
Troubleshoot problem by using chart below.
To move on to the next code, press the OPTIONS button. To clear code, press the Select button.
To exit this mode, simultaneously press and hold the Select and Pause Cancel buttons for six seconds.
