Dryer completely dead. Will not start when timer button is pressed. Interior light does not come on. There is power to the outlet. The door switch clicks when pressed. The timer has been replaced within the last 3 months. What would be the next logical steps to take/parts to check? Thanks in advance for any help...

Check to see if the belt is broken being over 10 years old there a good chance that it is .Can you take the bottom panel of the dryer,if so you can see if it broken.Another thing is open the dryer door and turn the drum,if it turns easy then the belt is broken.
