there is no power to the start switch, how could the motor/belt/drum turn? yes, the wall has voltage. maybe I'm not getting it, but sounds like you haven't read my post details?

none of the 3 leads to the start switch are hot, this 3 terminal spring loaded switch (#685067) shows continuity at appropriate terminals in both positions. door switch also tests good for continuity. the thermal fuse (#690198) seems to usually show continuity, but a bit "fussy". what else should I check for?
