On the panel I took off to get to this it said to replace the fuse and resistor. Also to find what caused it. I uploaded a pic of it mclldavidson attached the following image(s):

Only for the test you can bypass it to see if the dryer will start to work. Quote: ...On the panel I took off to get to this it said to replace the fuse and resistor... Can you verify what exactly is written there. "Resistor" sounds not right. Gene. P.S. Your dryer is very different with one shown in the video. The access to the thermal fuse in your dryer is from the front. It is pretty visible if you will click on the diagram link.

Make sure the belt is not broken and is in place. Check the broken belt switch which is under the idler pulley (#5 at the diagram). - The belt Part number: AP2911808 - The broken belt switch Part number: AP3094230 Gene.
