IF THE DRYER DOES NOTHING AT ALL I WOULD SAY YOUR MAIN FUSE HAS BLOWN,IT IS ON THE BLOWER BOX AND IS WHITE,YOU CAN REMOVE THE BACK PANEL AND CHECK IT WITH AN OHMS METER,IF YOU GET NO READING IT IS BAD,LET ME KNOW-MIKE

SOURCE: dryer will not start

if you are sure that your door switch is ok than you have a bad motor
but double check the door switch  the door switch has two wires take them off and connect them together if that makes the dryer work its a bad doorswitch if it doesnt help you have a bad motor

SOURCE: Kenmore 80 series electric dryer will not start even though the door switch switch appears functional and power is getting to the timer.

Easy fix. I had the same problem on mine. You need access to the back. Remove back cover. Look at bottom left, you will see two blue wires going to a white plastic item next to one of the thermal sensors. This white plastic piece is a fuse, or fusible link if you like. I'm not sure what the rating is, but you can take the old one to a parts store. They can match it. Now, why did it blow? Well, if the dryer is old, it could be just worn out. But more than likely, one of your 230 volt lines has degraded due to a bad connection, thus drawing more amps, thus blowing the fuse. Look at where the power cord comes in at. Is there any discoloration or oxidation at the terminals? If so, replace the power cord at this time, and try to clean up the terminals as best you can. Also, at this time, you probably better take a look at the lint collector duct running along the left side down the back. It's probably so clogged with lint that your dryer does't dry as fast anymore, and air flow from the exhaust is restricted. Take the duct off and clean it out, or blow it out with compressed air. You should be up and running now. Have fun...
