1.
No power to the dryer
Make sure there's power getting to the dryer. Check for a
tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. Check the wall socket for
power with a voltmeter or by plugging something else in. Sometimes
the power cord disconnects or burns at the dryer, if this is the
case, the wiring and the terminal block must be repaired or
replaced.

Door switch / Door switch actuator lever
The dryer would not start with a broken door switch. Replace the
door switch if found defective.
Most dryers have a door switch actuator lever - when you close a
dryer door, it presses against the lever, which actuates the door
switch. If the lever is broken, the switch would not activate and
the dryer would not start. Replace the lever, if broken.
Note: Door switch actuator lever usually comes with the door switch
assembly and it is recommended to get the whole assembly since there
is almost no price difference between the door switch assembly and
just the lever. Check your model for more details.Thermal Fuse
The thermal fuse helps to prevent a dryer
fire by shutting off power to the dryer if it overheats. If the dryer
won't start check this fuse first. Test the thermal fuse with an ohm
meter or continuity checker. This is the most common part to fail when
the dryer won't start. Once the thermal fuse has blown, it has to be
replaced. It can not be reset.
Thermal Cut Out Fuse Kit
Most dryers have several temperature control
devices such as a thermal fuse, thermal cut out, high limit fuse or high
limit thermostat. Some manufacturers sell the thermal fuse and thermal
cut out in a kit. These kits normally solve no-heat problems rather than
when the dryer won't start. However, in some models, this kit will
solve both problems. Even though this is not the most common part to
fail if the dryer won't start, both can be checked using an ohm meter or
continuity checker. If they have continuity they are good. If not, they
should be replaced.
Main Control Board
The main control board is normally not at
fault when the dryer won't start. First, check all of the other
components in this troubleshooting guide before replacing the main
control board. The main control board can not be tested and must be
replaced if it is defective. If there are obvious signs of burning or a
shorted out component on the board, it should be replaced.
Timer
The timer is normally not at fault when the
dryer won't start. In many situations where timers are replaced they end
up being returned. First, check all of the more common components in
this troubleshooting guide before replacing the timer. If the dryer
won't start, the cause is much more likely to be a thermal fuse or
switch. The timer can not be tested, it must be replaced if it is
defective.
