My wife was drying tennis shoes and when she restarted the dryer one of the shoes was wedged between the drum and door, so that the drum wouldn't turn. It made a errrrrrr noise and stopped and now won't start. Lights come on, but we only get a beep and a click. Turned off, also unplugged it. Somewhere in here Ive seen diagnostic test, How do I do that?

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL GEW9200LW1 Electric Dryer | AppliancePartsPros.com

Here is the tech sheet with the diagnostics routine.

This should also help

First I would rotate the drum in the correct direction just to make sure it has not jammed.

Next on the list would be to run the diagnostics to see if anything comes up that will help with your troubleshooting.
Then the thermal fuse and the belt switch in the motor's circuit.

Since you are probably going to open it up I would check all moving parts, the seals etc. and give it a good cleaning.
Also a good time to clean/check your vent system.

Unplug the dryer, and take the bottom front cover off. Then, open the door a pull the lint filter out. Ok, so where the lint filter came out from there are two 1/4 inch screws that hold that black housing in place that the lint filter came off. Once you take off the linty filter housing, it will expose to parts, that sit on the front vent tube, the one on the left of the 2 parts, should be white in color, and have 2 wires coming to it. Take the 2 wires off, and put the terminal ends together, and put some tape around them to keep them together, and so they don't hit metal, and then plug the dryer in, and see if it works. If so, replace the part, do not run the dryer that way, it is the only thing that stops the dryer from burning down the house. That part is called a thermal fuse. Let me know how it goes.
