Unknown Dryer Repair – Canton, OH (HTX26EASW0WW)

A Canton homeowner called when her dryer’s start button stopped working. The unit wouldn’t start no matter how many times she pressed it. We found the start button was split and needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported that the start button was not working to start the dryer. No matter what she tried, pressing the button wouldn’t get the unit running.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we discovered the start button was split. This physical damage prevented the button from making proper contact to initiate the dryer’s start sequence.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None — button removed for customer replacement
• Work performed: Removed old button and provided customer with link to order correct replacement
• Result: Customer advised that new button pops on from the front for easy installation

Is It Worth Repairing?

A simple button replacement is definitely worth doing on most dryers. This is an inexpensive fix that restores full functionality. Even older units benefit from minor repairs like this since the rest of the machine typically has years of life remaining.

Maintenance Tips for Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent overheating and reduce strain on components
• Check and clean the exterior vent regularly to maintain proper airflow
• Avoid overloading the drum, which can stress mechanical parts and controls
