The easiest and least expensive repair is a thermal fuse. DISCONNECT POWER TO DRYER. Pull dryer out, disconnect dryer vent and proceed to take complete back off dryer. Near the bottom of the dryer you will find a little white part (thermal fuse) has two wires going to it and is held in with a single 1/4" screw. Pull off both those wires on the thermal fuse, tape them together and try the dryer. If it starts, the thermal fuse needs replacing. Also at that time clean dryer and venting and check that your outside vent damper is opening completely. Hope this helps.
