Default Dryer Won't start
Brand: Hotpoint
Model Number: HDX1007SW419
Age: 5 - 10 years

The dry stoped the other day, after only a couple of minutes. If I turn the switch on and hold it the dryer runs but as soon as I let go it stops.

Is this a bad switch or bad motor or something else?

Plus I can't find any parts or diagrams for this model. Do I have the model number anyone know?

It is the motor that has failed.

Where was your dryer Purchased?

Can you please verify your model number?

The number does look like a good number.

So, tried the dryer and it worked again. But after doing a load it quit again. Is that the motor overheating or somthing else?
