My dryer was working fine then one day I was doing laundry and had already dried a load and the next load it would not turn on. I could hear it ticking after I set the timer. Any help would be appreciated. :)

Here are your parts
Parts for Whirlpool LE9480XWW1 Dryer - AppliancePartsPros.com

You may have blown the thermal fuse (item 7 in the parts section with the drum and blower).

Unplug the unit and check the fuse with a meter should be 0 ohms.

Jiggery Pokery method is.
Unplug the unit.
Remove both wires from the fuse, short them together and tape them up so they will not short to the frame.
Plug the unit in and give it a try.

If blown, replace the fuse ASAP as it is a critical safety device re: prevents lint fires which can turn into house fires.

Also clean/check your vent system and the blower as these are the most common causes of it blowing.
