Dryer wouldn't stay started after button was pushed.
Removed the back of the dryer panel and replaced the relay that was not working. The dryer then worked for the next weekend of laundry then the dryer did the same thing at the end of our chores. I then pulled the panel back off and found the control pane (eend heat control) was burned up. I ended up buying a new dryer , a different brand of course, the next weekend. I want to thank your site for all the help. I otherwise would have spent much more on a repairman on items I did/could do myself.

Dryer motor would not run
The motor relay arrived the day after I ordered it, and i had not requested expedited shipment. Thanks for the quick delivery. I say the repair was a bit difficult only because it was not obvious at all how to open up the control console, and the user's manual was completely silent on the subject of disassembly . I finally found that the retaining end caps simply snapped off. Once the console was open, I found that the DIY instructions were folded up inside the console. Replacing the part only took about ten minutes. Now that I know how to open the console, the whole repair could be done in less than fifteen minutes.

Dryer Start button wouldn't stay on
After watching a video from youtube: which happened to have the same issue and exact dryer, I realized it was the start button relay and not the switch. The video covers how to test if its the relay. I did mark all the wires with tape and labeled them so I made sure they were reconnected appropriately. I ordered the relay and it was installed in mere minutes. This is the first ever appliance repair I have ever done! It was a great feeling to know I was able to fix my dryer and it only required a screwdriver and a few minutes!

Dryer stops working after l push the button.
It was easy to remove the old part with the help of a u tube video and replace with new one. Once l did the dryer still won’t stay on. I will be returning the part it has to be something else wrong.

Hello John,
Thanks for your question. This is likely an issue with the motor relay, part number PS346562, or the power relay, part number PS11741695. You may wish to test it with a multimeter to see if it has continuity and replace it if it shows no continuity. If that part is intact, consider replacing the motor itself.
I hope this helps.
Kenmore gas dryer does not continue to run after push to start switch is released. Service visit lead to a new motor, problem remained. A new 3406281 power relay was installed. The problem remained. When the power relay was swapped with heat relay the motor ran but no heat was generated. Waiting for another relay! Taken over a week to chase the problem.
For model number Kenmore 110.74994300
Hello Jack, thank you for your question. If the power relay and motor are not the issue, the problem could be the Thermostat, Internal-Bias Part Number: PS11746740, or the push to start switch PartSelect Number: PS11742178, I hope this helps!

Hi again. I put a meter on all of the parts i replaced for having no heat (fuses, thermostat, thermistor, heater element) and got readings under 40 while running. Still no heat. Checked the incoming voltage and it's fine. What should i check next, the power relay? Or what? Thank you.

Hello Brett,
Thank you for your question. Yes, we also suggest checking the door switch under part PS11741701 as well if the power relay isn't defective. We hope this helps.
Hi Miguel, thank you for your question! To determine if the part is defective or not, use a multimeter to test for continuity. We hope this information is useful!
