When we press the control on button, the normal lights come on. But when we press the start button on any dryer setting, the sensing light illuminates, the dryer clicks once and then nothing else. I pulled the thermal fuse to check for continuity and it tested okay. What other tests can I run? :(

I opened the door and pressed in the door switch by hand to see if the same response (sensing light illuminates, the dryer clicks once and then nothing else) was obtained and it was. This suggests to me that the door switch also is okay.

The closeup is for the top right triangle area, the burn spot is evident. I didn't think to pull out the control board, but I will know the next time to check this also. moody9207 attached the following image(s):
