This morning the dryer just stopped working out of nowhere. still has heat, just wolnt spin. So I opened it up, checked for power and the more obvious problems, nothing found. So I was doing some research on what the problem could be and I found that there was a fuse mounted on the outlet duct. I completly removed and checked it for continuity. my meter says it open, so I am sure it is bad. However, Just to show my wife, i jumped the two connectors to complete the circuit and I still have nothing. Any help? Is there perhaps a certain resistance that is required for the motor to turn? also, the belt is intact.

The thermal fuse that you checked will either stop only heat or the whole unit from starting. It will not allow only the heat to come on.
The door switch will not be your problem either as that will also not allow the unit to start at all with the door open.
Sounds to me at this point that you either have a timer or a motor issue.
I'm sure someone else may have another opinion .

the fuse in the back is blown, and the start button is broken. I jumped the wires on the fuse and the switch and she fired right up. thanks for your input, I am glad its something simple.
