First check to see that you have 120v going to each side of the connection block.

Then unplug the machine and check each of the thermlstats/thermas fuses for continuity. The likely problem is in your hi limit thermostat.

While the have the machine open clean out the lint chute and the blower wheel and all the lint inside the machine.

Check the door switch!!! Open the door and see if the lever is broken that the door hits 2 make contact!!! If not, then take the back off the dryer, and you will see a white part about an inch and a half long, by a half inch wide. It has 2 wires coming to it, and is held in by one screw. Make sure the dryer is unplugged, and take the 2 wires off the thermal fuse, and put the terminal ends together. Also put a little tape around them, so the terminals do not hit metal, and plug the dryer in and see if it works. If so, DO NOT RUN the dryer with the fuse jumped out. It is the only thing that stops the dryer from burning down the house. This is for testing only. Let me know how it goes. Tom ApplianceEducator.com
