Did u reconnect wires to door switch, or maybe inadvertently pulled them loose.

I would check the door switch. if switch is good, then control board might not be recognizing switch as being closed. Check for proper voltage at the plug. any volts under 208 is bad.

there should be a plug right there

Take the front panel off the bottom and check the big hoses that connect to the drum. From what you are saying, the fan is working but not drawing air through the drum. That is why the light is on because it is not sensing air flow through the connections to the drum.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

If you have already tried cleaning the vent then the problem is with the Thermal fuse. When the thermal fuse goes bad it cannot be reset and replacing it is recommended repair.It is located on the blower wheel housing inside the rear panel to the exhaust duct. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

it is proberly lint stuck around the motor and fan resticting air flow to the motor and the motor is shutting down because it is to hot vac out around the motor and inside the cabinet

did you replace the belt and idler pully and cleaned the fluff from the heater

For a quick inspection, the back is easier to remove to gain sight of the potential problem. Make sure the power is off. You will probably find the drum rubbing somewhere and have to release the weight of the drum to check bearings.

Check the "thermistor" that is on the blower housing for continuity with a multimeter. It should read 2.27k. If you get any other reading, replace it with this part.

clean the sensor that is located underneath the lint trap

Hi,

If your dryer is not drying like it once did or if you just have not taken the time to give yourself a clean dryer in a long time then you need to do that. At least once a year the dryer cleaning should take place. Lint build up in the dryer duct is one of the main causes for your dryer to fail.
