Title:

Why does the dryer stop after the pushbutton start switch is released

Text:

Kenmore Elite 110.73942100 Gas Dryer

This is a Kenmore Elite natural gas dryer.  When I push the start button the dryer drum begins to tumble.  When I release the start switch the drum stops.  I have tried all the settings on the dial.  Timed, automatic, heat, air cooled.  It doesn't seem to matter, the unit will only stay on if I continue to hold in the start button.  The moment I release it the unit stops.
