Older Kenmore electric dryer..... this is very very odd, at least to me. The dryer won't start, however, it has a wrinkle guard feature, and if left there on wrinkle guard, it functions in that capacity, (tumbles and then stops to prevent wrinkling). Can anyone offer any help?

Have now replaced the start switch (a little over 80 bucks) still won't start. Anyone have any ideas?

Do not have a wiring diagram for your unit but do have one for a Maytag with Wrinkle Control about the same vintage as yours.

My guess would be contacts L to M in the timer are open. These should be closed on all cycles except at the OFF positions on the dial.
