Power problem?

I have an HMV160 and when I press the start button the power comes on but as soon as I let it go the power goes off....is there any way to fix it so the tumble dryer will work properly??

Ever thought about replacing the start switch. Seems fairly obvious to me that if the power is on when you press switch in but goes off when you let it go then it must be faulty. Replace it.
