Where is the dryer reset button?

Answered by Robert Dupre

The dryer reset button is typically located on the control panel of the machine. It is a small button that may be labeled as “Reset” or have a symbol that represents a reset function. The exact location of the reset button can vary depending on the brand and model of the dryer, but it is usually easily accessible on the control panel.

If your dryer’s motor is not running, it is recommended to first let the dryer cool down for about ten minutes. This is because some dryers have built-in safety features that prevent the motor from running when it becomes overheated. Allowing the dryer to cool down can help reset these safety features.

Once the dryer has cooled down, you can locate the reset button on the control panel. It may be necessary to refer to the dryer’s user manual or contact the manufacturer if you are having trouble finding the reset button.

To reset the dryer, simply press and hold the reset button for a few seconds. This should reset the motor and allow it to start running again. If the motor still does not start after pressing the reset button, it may indicate a larger issue with the dryer that requires further troubleshooting or professional repair.

It is important to note that not all dryers have a reset button. Some dryers may have a different method for resetting the motor or may not have a reset function at all. In such cases, it is best to refer to the user manual or contact the manufacturer for specific instructions on how to reset the motor.

In my personal experience, I have encountered dryers with reset buttons located on the control panel. Whenever the motor failed to start, I followed the steps mentioned above and was able to reset the motor and get the dryer running again. However, there have also been instances where the dryer did not have a reset button, and I had to refer to the user manual or seek professional assistance to resolve the issue.

To summarize, the reset button on a dryer is typically located on the control panel. If the motor fails to run, let the dryer cool down for about ten minutes and then press and hold the reset button to reset the motor. If the motor still does not start, consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer for further guidance.
