In the category of perfect timing, our gas dryer will not start on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. It makes no sound at all when the button is pressed. Power at the outlet is fine.
The cycle selector dial feels different and it does not make any clicks when turned to different cycles so I suspect that mechanism. However, I would like any advice to eliminate any easier fixes. I may not be able to buy or order a part until Tuesday at this point.
There was a heavy load of towels in the dryer when this occurred. I did take the load out and gave the drum a little spin, closed the door and tried to start it, but nothing.
