My whirlpool cabrio front load dryer will power on but when you press start it doesn't. All it will do is light up under "sensing" but never moves on to actually dry the clothes. I have checked the breakers as well as unplugged and plugged the dryer back in. No error code pops up...just the timer. Any ideas?

no. what you are getting is an over heat sense and is shutting the unit down this is a safety type of thermostat and will shut down the heating cycle prematurely as it will with a clogged vent or lint filter

Easy fix: Look inside the drum below where the filter goes in. You will see two metal strips. They sense the wetness. Now get this: the dryer sheets rub against them and a thin wax buildup on them prevents the controls from properly determining wetness. The control has no clue the clothes are still damp and thinks everything is kosher; so it advances to the end. Solution. Clean the stuff off of the sensors so that they can sense the true wetness once again.
