GE Dryer bought 08/08/07 First it stop bewfore cloths were finished, if I hit start button it would finish, now it will not start.

Timer probably bad as it should cut dryer off. Make sure start button isn’t stuck.

Hard to say without make and model #.

On GE ovens there should be a CLOCK button to press first. Then if the control has number pads 1 to 0 you enter the correct time and press clock or start again to finish. If it has no 1 to 0 pads there should be 2 arrow type buttons with + on one and - on the other. Press clock and then use + to go up or - to go down. Holding either button in will make it change fast. When you get close to correct time hit button slowly to finish. Hit clock button when time is correct.

is the thermal limit if open due to lint or other problems the dryer will not run.

Of course it could very well be a broken door switch.

below the lint trap is a sensor, clean it off gently as not to damage it, this will fix the problem

sounds like you have a bad motor. you can try taping down your door switch or having someone hold it down for you and then hit the start button while giving the drum a kickstart with your hand clockwise. If the unit starts up and gets running then you have bad start windings on your motor. Just replace the dryer is not worth putting a motor in. Hope this helps.

door switch or motor

hit cancel. if it doesnt work unplug wait for 15 to 20 mins plug back in and hit cancel

I have the same problem, and I believe it is because the filter is full. I'm tracking down the repair process now.

I've downloaded the exploded view from GE.

Yes - the ECU is to blame, and is a common failure with this unit.
