What Causes the Clothes Dryer to Shut off After a Few Seconds?
While the cord shouldn't develop any issues on its own, moving the dryer and rolling it over the cord could slice the protective housing on the cord and cause potential electrical issues. Unplug the dryer and inspect the entire length of the cord, looking for exposed wires or other signs of damage. Purchase a replacement dryer cord from a home improvement store if any damage is visible. Replace the cord by removing the dryer access plate surrounding the existing cable, then unfastening each strand of the wire from the cable attached to the dryer, one at a time. Connect the new cord's color-coded wires to the matching color-coded terminals inside the back of the dryer, then replace the access panel.
