The heating element heats up, the dryer control clicks like it wants to turn on, but it will not spin into action. Wondering if it is the thermal fuse? Not certain where it is or how to change it. Very uncertain at this point. Appreciate the help.

Before changing it out you can check the fuses/thermostats. The thermal fuse and hi limit therostat are on the heater housing, the cycling thermostat is on the blower cover. If these check out, see if the dryer will start by opening the door, holding the door switch in, pressing the start button and trying to turn the drum by hand. (you will need help) If it starts, the motor is the likely problem. Good luck.
