If you decide to mess with the button and try to get it our yourself, make sure you have unplugged the drier in order to avoid being electrocuted.

I would recommend that you go to this link (click the word "link") in order to contact support via phone call and explain to them what has happened.

Hope this helps!

Please call for service, to avoid risk of electric shock. The button insulates the hand from the electric component.
