Shirly, It will most likely be the thermal fuse. If you unplug the dryer, and take the big back panel off, you will see a thin white part, about and inch and a half long, by a half inch wide. It will have 1 screw holding it in place, and 2 wires coming to it. In cased you don't have a meter, to check it for ohms. You can take the 2 wires off of the thermal fuse, and then put the wire terminal ends together, that you took off the thermal fuse, and then get some tape and wrap in around the terminal ends to keep them together, and to cover them completely, so they don't hit metal. Once you have that done, plug the dryer back in and see if it works. If so, you cannot run the dryer that way. I just told you to do it this way, so you can know for sure, and not spend money on parts needless, if you don't have a meter. So, if it works, buy a thermal fuse, and you have it. If not, less us know. Tom Appliance Educator, Appliance Parts, Washer and Dryer Parts, Refridgerator and Freezer Parts, Stove and Oven Parts
