The light works on my dryer panel, but the dryer won't go on. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Door switch, or start switch would be my first 2 guesses. Timer? Motor? Possible. But, doubtful.

It is most likely the thermal fuse. It is located on the heater housing. On the part breakdown of the heater assembly it is #6. The part# is 40113801 Once replaced, make sure the air flows real well to the outside of the house, from the vent. Sometimes that is the reason it blows.

Yes. I concur. That is also a possibility.

Thank you. That was it exactly. Service just replaced it. Vent needs cleaning. Weather exacerbated vent issue.
