Question posted by MATTHEWMIEDEL on April 27th, 2010

My Dryer Light Is On But It Will Not Start.

THE MODEL # IS WED5200VQD. I NOTICED A CLIP OR SOMETHING AT THE TOP RIGHT OF THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR. POSSIBLY THE CLIP THAT ALLOWS THE DRYER TO START, I DONT KNOW. BUT IT LOOKS BROKEN. ITS JUST HANGING THERE. IT LOOKS BROWN TO ME AND ON THE SIDES ARE TWO SCREWS. POSSIBLY THERE BECAUSE IF IT BREAKS YOU UNSCREW IT AND TAKE THE OLD OUT AND INSTALL THE NEW BY SCREWING IT IN.
