Dryer will not start. Light inside does not come on. Timer motor runs. I have checked voltage to dryer side of input and get 220VAC. Door switch tests ok. What can I check next? Thanks

Looking at the wiring diagram if the thermal fuse is bad on this model the light will not work. Thermal fuse is #5 in the diagram and is mounted on the side of the heater. I would check it for continuity.

Thanks, that's exactly what it was (thermal fuse). I found the schematic after posting and was able to determine problem. New fuse was $35 and I had to replace both even though only one was bad. New one has a lifetime warranty. Thanks for the post...
