Dryer will not run — Cycle does not start

What does Dryer will not run mean?

When attempting to start a cycle, the dryer does not begin operation. This can be due to a simple oversight like an open door or a power supply issue.

• The dryer door is not closed completely.
• The START/PAUSE button was not pressed correctly or long enough.
• A household fuse is blown or a circuit breaker has tripped.
• Incorrect power supply to the electric dryer (requires 240-volt).
• Incorrect type of household fuse being used (time-delay fuses are required).
