It powers on, I select a setting, push the start button and get nothing but a beep and sensing light on. If its unplugged for a long period of time when I first plug it in I get a PF error code, but never again after. I have replaced most of the sensors and thermistor fuse. I finally caved and even replaced the control board. I just tested the power cord and it has conductivity. I replaced the breakers in my box. At this point im really not sure what to do and my wife is loosing patience after weeks of this. Please help. Thanks

Possible causes for your issue include:
Blown fuse
Timer or motor inoperative
Housing wiring not properly connected to dryer
Bad door switch
Faulty "Push to Start" switch
It would probably be best to have a professional pinpoint the exact defect.

SOURCE: Replaced control board, won't power up
You will need a volt meter to test the board for power.
First remove the cover at the cord terminal and verify 220 volts to the dryer as well as 120 volts from each hot leg to neutral.
If power is OK there,open the console to access the control board you replaced.The door must be closed. With the volt meter check for power at terminals BB1 position #1 and BB2 position #3.BB1 is L1 power in. BB2 is neutral power in. If no power is present check the door switch.
The L1 power comes from the terminal block to the door switch before it goes to the board.
If power is present at the board and nothing works you have a bad board.
