Symptoms: 4.5 yr old dryer will not start. Worked perfectly in present location/setup for 1 yr, as recently as yesterday evening. I've checked to be sure that the wiring is connected properly, plugged in properly and that the breaker is not tripped. Door is securly closed; lent filter and exhaust free of debris. Pushing "start" knob fails to start machine.
/WK, sounds like a thermal fuse. Pop the top of the dryer by pushing on the clips in right and left front top. In the back you are going to see the heater and on the right side about 4 inches down a small thermal fuse. You can ohm it out or jump it to verify that is the problem. If you jump it, don't leave it that way, it's a safety device. Part number for fuse is LA 1053, Catriver..post back.

There can be many reasons why your dryer will not start or turn...
The most common causes are the belt breaking or jumping off, or the motor going bad...

Checked it witha Multimeter Friday evening, and sure enough that was it. Called a local appliance shop, got the part and was doing laundry by saturday morning. Thanks for the help.
dryer will not run when push the start knob firmly, the hosue poer supply circuit is okay, door is closed properly,power supply switch is ok, question- how to replace the time delay fuse?
