I put a load of laundry in to day and about 20 minutes into it, the dryer shut off. When I opened the door it smelled like something was burnt and my clothes were hotter than ever. Now the dryer won’t come back on… Checked the breaker, didn’t tripp it. When I push the start button, you can tell it’s trying to connect, but noting is happening..
Anyone know how or what to do from here? 
How do I determine what’s wrong with it?
Check the thermal fuse (#4 on the diagram) for continuity. Replace if it’s open.
Make sure the dryer vent is clean all the way through the vent outlet and there are no any restrictions.
Make sure the blower wheel (#6 on the diagram) is not slipping around the motor shaft.
