Sorry for the late reply....It was a bad timer, I replaced it and the dryer started working.....Thanks for all the help...

Sorry, I can not understand what is the "plastic piece".
If you can post a couple of timer pictures, it will help me to see what is going on with the timer.

Yes...I understand you were talking about the letter marks..But as I showed in the previous thread there are 2 wires that connect above the "W" and both seemed to be related to the "W". At the bottom right on the timer there is a "T". Directly above the "T" there is a terminal that does not have a wire going into it, and directly above that is an opening of this plastic piece that also does not contain a wire.....So, does this mean the "T" is already removed or is it the other two wires above that??....Hope this makes sense.......
Thanks...

I did not mean the color of the wires. All timer terminals should have a letter marks as shown on the timer picture on the wiring diagram sheet. So we are talking about two timer terminals, marked "T" & "W". Gene.

OK...sorry....on the right hand side on the timer there are 4 wires looks like this
_
wire(white)
wire(white,going into plastic piece)
W
_
wire(tan)
wire(tan, going into plastic piece)
opening of plastic piece(no wire)
connector for wire(but nothing attached)
T
So it seems T already doesn't have anything attached....but maybe I'm reading it wrong...Also I tried to pull the top wire(white) and the plastic piece would not let it come all the way out....I was afraid to pull this off....Does it just come off??......Thanks again for all the help......

I'm afraid you did not get me right.
You had to remove the "T" or "W" wires before the continuity test.

Well, pulled the V wire and turned the timer on and checked for continuity across the "T" & "W" timer and it beeped...So, I guess there is continuity.......It came down to the time I needed to order the part so it would be here tomorrow, so I ordered the timer.....I hope thats what it is....I posted on other forums also and all have come back saying it is most likely the timer...But after this test..does that prove the timer is ok??
Thanks......

Sounds like the timer is gone dead. Check for continuity across the "T" & "W" timer terminals when the timer is in "on" position and at least one of wires removed from any of these terminals. If it's open - replace the timer. - The part number for the timer is AP2976318 Gene.

Checked the door switch by opening pressing in the button and light went out and I could hear the timer come on.....
Checked the start relay r1 and ground with the door closed and received 123.1V
The other two, are a little over my head, not really sure how to check these.....Do I need to pull out the lint chute to get to the motor, would there be marking for the 4m and 5m?
Sorry....I'm a newbie at electric diagrams....and fixing dryers...
Thanks again for all your help......
