This dryer has developed a sudden 'no-start' problem. I tested the wall current first, then door switch, then start switch, then belt switch. All test ok. I suspect the thermal switch. I would appreciate any/all ideas to repair this dryer. thank you in advance for any help you may offer.
If it doesnt run at all its nothing to do w the thermal aspects at all. The motor would run regardless just no heat. Check all paths electrically to the motor and be sure to check the motor itself.

I have the same prob, no start on ge hotpoint. I had to replace the cord about a yr ago because metal rubbed into cord & shorted out. Worked fine, except it seemed to run hotter than it had previously. But, 3 days ago it stopped working all together. I've tested the start switch, door switch, but not sure how to test the selector switch. But, I'm not sure if it has a thermal fuse. I tested one thermostat & it seemed to be working, but have not tested other. Any other ideas?
