My dryer has power (lights are on) but won't start

The light works on my dryer panel, but the dryer won’t go on. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Door switch, or start switch would be my first 2 guesses. Timer? Motor? Possible. But, doubtful.

It is most likely the thermal fuse. It is located on the heater housing. On the part breakdown of the heater assembly it is #6. The part# is 40113801 Once replaced, make sure the air flows real well to the outside of the house, from the vent. Sometimes that is the reason it blows.

Yes. I concur. That is also a possibility.

Thank you. That was it exactly. Service just replaced it. Vent needs cleaning. Weather exacerbated vent issue.
