Sorry Combo you're right: GE WSW2420DWW spacemaker laundry center. It's a clone of the WP LTE5243DQ. It's about 4 yrs old |

I would look first for loose power connections at terminal block the outlet where its plugged in and even a loose wire at the circuit breaker. Then I would check the dryer door switch, connections at the motor etc. The capacitor you mentioned is for the washer motor and won't affect the dryer. You could have a bad motor on the dryer, overall it is a good machine and should have a 20-30 year life expectancy, and if you like it I would try to fix it.

Could it be as simple as a malfunction with the start switch? alr2903 |

I glad you got it working and as I had posted on the 7th post on this thread I said it was likely a power supply problem, we see this type of problem all the time, this often happens when the outlet in the wall is installed upside down. When the cord is going up instead hanging down it tends to pull it self out of the outlet.
