Voltage present. Start button clicks once. Mode selector timer is heard. Door switch working properly. Interior needs cleaning from heavy lint buildup. Don't have service instructions. Would like advice on troubleshooting protocol.

Heavy lint buildup usually causes this thing to blow, and it has to be replaced. Test yours for continuity. Also test the push to start switch.

Part number: AP3132867

Take out the drum and clean it thoroughly, including the lint chute and the outside vent.

Happy New Year, hope this fixes things.

Thank you for the expediant response. Opened and cleaned dryer top to bottom (looks new). Bypassed thermal fuse and dryer kicked on. Replaced fuse and closed and dryer works great. Thanks for the help.:)
