What I found
The dryer's Push to Start button was not working, so the problem was in the start control rather than the temperature selector. The start switch assembly needed replacement.
For this Speed Queen dryer I used switch assembly 55882.
How I replaced the switch
I opened the control panel to reach the back of the Push to Start switch. After disconnecting the wires, I removed the old switch and its mounting hardware from the panel.
I fitted the replacement switch assembly, connected the wires to the new switch and refitted the control panel. The replacement restored the dryer's Push to Start control.
Result
The dryer was put back together with a working Push to Start switch. The total was $213, with a 6-month warranty on parts and labor.
Part replaced: push-to-start switch assembly 55882.
