When a clothes dryer's start button or power switch refuses to respond when pressed, the malfunction is typically caused by an open door switch, a blown thermal fuse, a tripped household circuit breaker, or a frozen electronic control board. For safety reasons, dryers will not engage motor operations if the door switch detects an open or unlatched door. You can troubleshoot electrical power and door switches safely using a digital multimeter. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when resetting the circuit breaker, securing a faulty door latch switch, or performing a hard power reset allows the machine to power on and begin your selected drying cycle normally.
