Then make sure no leads are not grounded to the dryer frame or eachother ... Then reset your breaker at the breaker pannel.

I say all this to say that GE puts a switch on the belt idler and if it was your belt that snapped and made the pop sound that switch will be in the open position and your dryer will not start even though it has 240 volts goin to it.

I had an electrician hat when he was here fixing my light switched the other day t he just did not know anything about dryers. How do you get the back off to check the drum to see if that switch is open?

If you remove them two screws you will be able to lift the dryer top exposing the belt around the drum ... If the belt is missing you know thats the problem ... You can also check the door switch at the same time ... With the dryer unplugged you can test to see if the switch is open when the door is closed.
