easy way to check door switch ( with POWER OFF ) is to put the two wires together or "jump" switch (bypass) .. if the dryer works, the door switch was your problem... with an ohm meter put your leads on the terminals of the door switch ( hopefully with aligator clips ) and with a digital ohm meter as the switch closes, the value of the meter should come close to 1 or beep.. if it doesnt change, the switch is NG..

when you get the new thermal fuse,it will say to check cycling t-stat and venting .. either or could cause the new one to fail again...
