Default Dryer doesn't start
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 86694500
Age: 5 - 10 years

I can select the mode, time... but when I press "start" nothing happens. Before it stopped working, I often had to push on the door to re-start it during a drying cycle, and the last few times it worked, I had to push on the door at all time or it would stop.
What could be the problem?
(I cannot find the model number on the website)
Thank you

It sounds like you have a broken switch or actuator.

Check and make sure that the screws holding the switch are tight.

Here is a link to the parts of your dryer model 11086694500.

The part number for the door switch is PS383723.

Here is the actuator.
