Push-to-Start Switch

Hello Shane, Thank you for your inquiry. It should have close to 0 ohms, so you may want to replace the switch. Hope this helps!

Hi David, Thank you for your question. Disconnect the power to your appliance. Remove the switch. Press it in to the on position. You can test this part with a multi meter. It should read close to 0 ohms when testing. If your meter does not change or move then the switch is bad and needs to be replaced. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Ivy, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: door switch, drive motor, push to start switch, internal bias and high limit thermostats, and the thermal fuse. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. Hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for writing. Have you checked the breaker in your house panel to make sure it did not trip? If this does not fix this problem then your thermal fuse PS11741460 and/or possibly a malfunctioning door switch PS11741701 might be faulty and possibly needs to be replaced. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.

Hi Benjamin, Thank you for your question. This switch has 4 terminals. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello Shari, thank you for your question. The terminals should be labeled with letters. Touch the one that says "com" with one probe and the one that says "no" with the other. Push down on the switch, if it does not move at all it does not have continuity and needs to be replaced. Repeat the test touching "com" with one probe and "nc" with the other. This test should show continuity (0 ohms) before the button is pressed. If it does not, the switch will need to be replaced. We hope this helps!

Hi Jose, thank you for contacting us. To fix this issue, you may need to check the buzzer switch, part number PS11743788. We hope this solves your problem!

Hello Michael, thank you for your question. There are a couple of things that could cause your dryer not to start. It could be the push to start switch, part number PS11748542. You can test this part with a multi meter. Touch the black meter probe to one metal prong on the switch and the red probe to the other. Press in on the switch pole. If the meter doesn't change, the switch is bad and needs to be replaced. If the meter drops to zero, the switch is good. It could also be the timer part number PS11746606. To test the timer Look for a wiring diagram located on the back of the unit, inside the cabinet or control panel, which tells the correct Ohms range, and what contacts should be open or closed. Move the scale on the multimeter to read Rx1, and zero the multimeter by touching two probes together. Set the dial on the multimeter to read "0". Touch one probe to the terminal where you removed the wire and the second probe to any other contact on the timer. You should get a reading between 2000 and 3000 OHMs or in the range of the suggested reading on the diagram. If contacts open when they should be closed or closed when they should be open based on the diagram, or you get a reading out of range, replace the timer. Open contacts should read OL (Open Loop) and closed contacts should read 0. We hope this helps!

Hello Michael, Thank you for the question. We suggest testing the Switch Box on the Motor. You will need to test the connectors with a multi meter to check for continuity. Hope this helps!
