I think the "5W0" is incorrect. The following is for a SW0

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL WED5700SW0 29"ELECTRIC DRYER | AppliancePartsPros.com

See the attachment for the tech sheet.

A common cause is a blown thermal fuse (Item 7 in Section 3).
Unplug the unit and check the fuse with a meter should be 0 ohms.

Jiggery Pokery method is.
Unplug the unit.
Remove both wires from the fuse, short them together and tape them up so they will not short to the frame.
Plug the unit in and give it a try.

If blown, replace the fuse ASAP as it is a critical safety device re: prevents lint fires which can turn into house fires.

Also clean/check your vent system and the blower as these are the most common causes of it blowing.

Next on the list would be the push-to-start relay and the door switch.
