Due to the Dryer wasn't start on and off, I changed the Door Switch, but the problem still. What other parts I need to verify to find the problem?

When you start the dryer, do you hear a click from the area of the control, even though the dryer does not start?

The front panel still on and you can hear a click in the control area every one or two minutes.

Thank you! Do you have a meter to test with? You may have an open thermal fuse or a faulty control board. I would hate to guess....

Yes, I have a continuity meter, I will verify for continuity. Thanks for your help.

There are two thermal fuses in line with the wire from the control that feeds the motor. One of them has likely opened. Let me know if you need help accessing and testing them.

Number 10 in the first diagram is mounted on the blower housing and number 11 in the second diagram is mounted on the can where the fire is. You can test those to be sure they show closed, or have continuity to allow the current through.
