Display shows nothing.no indicator lights on the control panel at any time.no lights when the door is opened, checking with the ohm meter it shows power is getting to the dryer and to the connections,pressing the buttons on any of them gets no responce. I really appreciate your help.

When checking for power and light in dryer I found the bulb to be burned out. put in new bulb and revisited your earlier suggestion saying if the light is on in the dryer and all else checks out then it must be a bad control board,I sure agree,and sorry for being so stupid not to check the light bulb. There was a lot of effort on your part to help me, and I sure appreciate it.
I have ordered a new control board.

Slats Does display shows anything? Does any indicator light on the control panel lights up? When you open the door did you see the light comes on? If nothing happens, there is a problem with the power source from the outlet or the power cord not connected properly (possible burned out wires) to the dryer. If you see the light inside the dryer, then the problem is a bad control board. Let me know and do not place a new question. Just put a comment and I'll get e-mail notification. Gendos...post back

I still believe the problem is the power source. How did you measure the power from the outlet? It's supposed to be 120V between each hot leg and neutral, and 240V between two hot legs. Let me know what you find.

My dryer, gew9868kq3, will not run. I went to do a touch up cycle and when I pushed the start button, there was a sudden light and pop sound from behind the dryer, the dryer did not start of course. T I can't detect any burning smell from anywhere.
