My Dryer shut off mid cycle and when trying to turn on it will do nothing now. You can hear the timer work but will not start. Have checked the wall outlet and all breakers, all is working correctly. Have taken the covers off the back of the dryer and tested for power to and from each wire. They all have power, except for the violet wire and the white wire with the black stripe. Comparing these to the legend for the Timer it is the upper most left and upper most right spots.

I can see no reason for these not to have power and am completely stuck.

Please help.

Please check your Model Number I can find info on 5634then some alphanumerics but nothing on 56345.

Sounds like your thermal fuse may have blown.
Often it is on the blower.
Most common cause of it going is a dity vent system.

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL REX5634KQ0 | AppliancePartsPros.com

Here is the wiring diagram
http://www.servicematters.com/d...0Sheet%20-%203406688.pdf

I am assuming that when you checked you voltage you checked not only for the 240 but also both 120 volts.

The start on this unit is fairly straight forward.Neutral , door switch , main and start windings thru the centrifugal switch, thermal fuse, BU/BK timer contacts , L1

Put the timer to the center of timed high heat.
Unplug the unit
You should be able to get at all the points you need except Neutral in the control panel.
Put the meter into resistance with one lead on L1 Black at the timer and leave it there. Then just work your way back through the circuit.
For the last point Neutral you could get that off the line cord.
