When you start the dryer, do you hear a click from the top area, towards the left? Do you have a meter to test voltage with?
Yes there is a faint click (only once) from upper left
If you remove the top panel from the dryer, you will have access to the machine control on the left hand side. On that control is a light blue wire. That wire is what supplies the motor with voltage. Start the dryer and test from that wire to any metal surface (ground) for 120 VAC. If you read no voltage there, the control is faulty. If you do read voltage there, the issue is deeper into the machine. Let me know what you find.
I pulled off top dryer panel, located cover that covers circuit board and removed three screws and raised it. There was a plug with three wires, one was blue, disconnected plug and inserted multimeter probe into top part of plug, I got a reading of 105 volts before I pushed button to turn on, I also got the same reading after I pushed the start button. This is the blue wire that comes out of the connector that goes into the circuit board. I don’t know what to do now, please help!anybody out there that can help? Or I am doing something wrong when checking. I can see the light blue wire going into the black connecting block that fits into the circuit, I can also see the wire where it connects to the white three wire connector that goes down into the top forward part of the dryer, just behind the lighted display panel.
