Dryer Repair

Whenever we press the start button on our dryer you can hear a clicking noise (relay?) from inside the control panel, but the dryer never starts. Also, If I open the front door after selecting the start button I hear another click. So, I think the door switch is working. I would like to check the thermal fuse, but I'm not sure how to remove the covers. Can anyone help me?

the thermal fuse was bad, replaced and now the clicking noise is gone. However, when i select start, the drying led is on, but the drying is not spinning or heating

Remove the front bottom access panel and check the belt and the broken belt switch (#5 on the diagram, under the idler pulley).

- The belt Part number: AP2911808

- The broken belt switch Part number: AP3094230

- The control board Part number: AP3841286
