My dryer will only run when I hold down the start button. the timer dose not move, nor dose it heat up.

I have replaced the Timer, Thermal Cutoff and the thermal fuse kit. any-other thoughts would be helpful.

That your diagnostics failed is a bad sign, points toward a bad Even Heat control board.

On the left hand side bottom of the wiring diagram you will see the PTS (Push To Start) button, in parallel is the MOTOR RELAY, it is supposed to close when the PTS is pushed. It then keeps the circuit path for the motor when the PTS is released.

Either the contacts are shot OR the relay coil is open OR it is not getting power from the Even Heat contol board.

You will probably need a meter to figure out which.
