My gas dryer will not stay running. I replaced the start switch with no luck. If I hold the switch it will run but when I release the switch it stops. The timer seems to be good. Wouldthe thermal fuse cause this?

It sounds like the centrifugal switch in the motor. The whole motor would have to be replaced.
