Today, for no apparent reason, the dryer stopped working!! Pressing the power switch, nothing happens. I've been looking through other forums online. As far as I can tell, the door switch seems to be fine. Could the power pushbutton switch be bad? Or the thermal fuse? If it's the fuse, how do I repair it? Do I take the back off the unit to get to that fuse? What else should I be checking? Thanks!
