Default Dryer runs when held
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 110.73954102
Age: 1 - 4 years

Hello,

My gas dryer only runs as long as the start button is held. I have read a couple different solutions so far: Motor bad (start / run winding related) or a controller board being bad. How can I determine which is the correct solution?

Thank you for any help with this matter.

Mike

If the dryer is starting and then when you let the start button go it stops the run winding in the motor has failed and the motor will have to be replace.

If the control board was bad the dryer would not do any thing.

Here is a link to the parts of your dryer model 110.73954102.
