My dryer was working fine in the morning and simply decided not to start in the evening. I can set it to timed drying and close the door and I can hear the timer clicking as normal, but hit the start button and nothing happens. I done a continuity check on the switch and it seems to be o.k. I done a voltage test on it and was getting 11.2 volts on the white/red stripe wire, push the button and the voltage goes to zero....is this normal? If so, what else should I check on this dryer? Your help would be very appreciated.

After further investigation and reading the helpful information on this site I was able to determine that I have a bad thermal fuse. I love how places like this help people with some mechanical know-how to do it them-selves and save a bit of money! A big thank you to the creators and people who add their expertise to this site!!!
