Hi
Most likely the start switch is bad. An easy way to find out is to remove one of the wires to the start switch. Make sure it won't short out. With a wire disconnected to this start switch, it should quit starting if that switch is the problem. Plug the dryer back in and see if that stops the automatic starting of the dryer. If the contacts are fried you should replace the switch. Check this link if the dryer won't heat .Actually the no heat problem depends on many factors:-
Thermal fuse, power from the house ,heating element and the wiring connection.

Dryer heating elements come in various shapes and sizes. They are all strung with a coiled wire made of a nickel and a chrome alloy. This wire receives, but resists, a controlled electric current and as a result, the wire heats up. The heat produced is used to heat and dry the clothes in your dryerOnce you have gained access to your dryer's heating element, set your multimeter to the R x 1 resistance scale. Touch each meter probe and to one end of the element. If you receive a reading of infinite resistance, then your heating element is no longer functioning properly and you will have to replace it, thanks to parts direct
