Crosley Dryer controls don't work
If your dryer controls are not working, the most common cause is a failed knob that no longer engages the switch stem. Selector, timer, and other control knobs often crack or strip so they just spin on the stem and never turn the switch, so replacing the knob usually fixes a dryer knob not working problem. If the entire display or timer is dead, inspect the power cord and its terminals for breaks or burn marks before assuming a control board issue. Less commonly, a blown thermal fuse can make the start button or some functions stop responding, and you can check that fuse for continuity with a multimeter. Start by removing and inspecting the knob, checking for visible damage, testing the cord for power, and testing the thermal fuse if the start button is not working. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part that fits your dryer and get a step-by-step repair guide.
01 - Crosley Dryer Selector Knob
A dryer selector knob needs to be able to engage and rotate the selector switch stem for that control to work. If the knob is cracked or stripped out and just slips on the stem a new knob will need to be installed to properly engage the switch.

02 - Crosley Dryer Timer Knob
The dryer's timer knob needs to be able to engage and rotate the timer stem for the control to work. If the knob is cracked or stripped out and just slips on the stem a new knob will need to be installed to properly engage the control.
Highly Likely
03 - Crosley Dryer Control Knob
A dryer control knob needs to be able to engage and rotate the switch stem for that control to work. If the knob is cracked or stripped out and just slips on the stem a new knob will need to be installed to properly engage the switch.
Highly Likely
04 - Crosley Dryer Power Cord
If the whole dryer display or timer is not working, the dryer's power cord could the source of the problem. Inspect the cord for any breaks or burn marks near the terminals. If the terminals appear blackened or wires are exposed through the cord's insulation, you should replace the power cord with a new one.
Highly Likely
05 - Crosley Dryer Knob
A dryer control knob needs to be able to engage and rotate the switch stem for that control to work. If the knob is cracked or stripped out and just slips on the stem a new knob will need to be installed to properly engage the switch.
Highly Likely
06 - Crosley Dryer Thermal Fuse
If just the start button is malfunctioning and you've confirmed the door switch is working properly, then it's possible the thermal fuse has blown. You can use a multimeter to test the fuse for electrical continuity. If the thermal fuse has no continuity, you'll know it has blown and will need to be replaced.
