Inglis Dryer controls don't work
If your Inglis dryer controls are not working, the most likely cause is a failed control or timer knob that has cracked or stripped and is just spinning on the switch stem, so the switch never gets turned. After worn or broken knobs, check the power cord next—if the display or timer is dead, look for blackened terminals or exposed wires at the cord and replace it. Less often the issue is a blown thermal fuse, which can make the start button behave like it is not working even when the door switch is fine; you can verify that with a multimeter for continuity. In short, a dryer knob not working, a power cord fault, or a bad thermal fuse are the typical culprits when dryer controls not responding. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact replacement control knob, timer knob, power cord, or thermal fuse that fits your dryer and get back to drying without guessing.
01 - Inglis 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.

Highly Likely
02 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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.
