Dryer was being used this morning then when the wife tried another load it would not start. I have checked continuity on the Thermal fuse and door switch. ALso checked the push to start switch. No problems found. What is next? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi.

There are two thermal fuses before the motor (heater fuse). Check them both.
Check if the appropriate button pushed all the way at the selector switch.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and http://www.appliancepartspros.c...odel.aspx?model_id=45255

Thank you. Post the results.

Simon.

Thanks for quick response. Don't know why but I put it all back together and it is now running? We will see for how long. I have a feeling I'll be back. But before I come back again I will check those two fuses.

If it is running then the fuses are OK.
Once blown they stay blown.

If you shut the breaker off when you worked on the unit then that may have been the problem.
Sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker.

Another possibility is the motor. It has an internal thermal protect. If it overheats the protect opens and you then have to wait for the motor to cool down (protect resets) before it will start again.
