Admiral AGD4475TQ1 7.0 cu ft Gas Dryer with Moisture Sensor and Wrinkle Guard Won't Start Error Fix: Dryer Will Not Start

Error code Won't Start on the Admiral AGD4475TQ1 7.0 cu ft Gas Dryer with Moisture Sensor and Wrinkle Guard means: Dryer Will Not Start. The dryer does not respond when the start button is pressed and the timer is set. The most common cause is a failed door switch — this safety interlock prevents the dryer from running with the door open. Test the door switch with a multimeter for continuity when pressed. Also check the start switch for burned contacts. Verify the 120V outlet has power (gas dryers use 120V, not 240V). The thermal fuse on the blower housing can also prevent starting if blown — this trips from overheating, typically caused by a clogged vent.
