Hello All, first time here, I tested the door switch and the start switch and both are good, but the dryer will not start...anything else I should look at before the motor? Thanks

Check the power at the outlet. If it's an electric dryer, you should find 220-240VAC between the two hot terminals in the receptacle. If not, go the the (doubled) breaker and flip it off and back on a couple times and see if that did the job. Sometimes one of the two breakers trips and you'll get power to the door/light, but no start.
If the outlet is ok, check the fuses inside the dryer. Unplug the appliance first, before sticking your hands inside the cabinet. The electric shock is painful enough; pulling back a partial hand from the sharp edges can tend to ruin one's day.
