When a GE electric dryer start button clicks or depresses when pushed but fails to stay engaged and run the motor after you release it, the issue is typically caused by a defective start switch, a broken door switch interlock, or a tripped internal thermal fuse. If the start switch contacts have burned out or welded open internally, they cannot maintain the electrical circuit needed to keep the motor running once pressure is removed. You can troubleshoot start switches safely using a digital multimeter to test continuity across the terminals. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when replacing a faulty start push button switch or securing a misaligned door interlock allows the GE dryer to stay powered on and run smoothly through its cycle.
