Every time the start button is pressed the fuse that is about 1/4 wide by 1 1/2 long blows. I believe one of the wires goes to the motor and the other wire goes up top. Any ideas? thanks

Look for a short some were. Might be the motor, although rare. I would use an ohm meter and check things.

Checked every thing out and the only thing I can find is there seems to be a direct short to ground on the wire from the fuse to the motor. Is there another switch on the motor that might be bad? The only thing left to do is pull the front off and check it out. I dont want to do that if it is the motor I'll just get another dryer.
