If both breakers are OK, Pull the dryer out, remove the rear panel, and just above the dryer exhaust, you should see a small WHITE thermal fuse(with 2 blue wires) Unplug the 2 wires and connect them together. Tape them up so they can't short out, Plug the dryer back in and try it, if it works, get a new fuse and replace it!!!! DO NOT RUN THE DRYER WITHOUT THE FUSE!!!!!!!!! ITS A FIRE HAZZARD!!!!! Carefully check the vent system and the dryer to make sure its not overheating!!!!:)
