    I had this exact same issue and I just replaced the sensor/thermal fuse and it still will not start. I have power and all the functions work but the dryer will not start.

SOURCE: My Dryer will only work if I hold start button, when I release start button the dryer stops.

Anra, this is a classic symptom of a failed even heat board. I've seen a lot of these failures out there. Easy to change out. Check out this link. Catriver..post back http://www.repairclinic.com/0080.asp

Dryer will come on but wont start. Sensing light is on

-There are couple things that cause a dryer no to work:
-Thermal fuse, heater element, door switch, start switch.

Whirlpool cabrio dryer has power but won't start

I had the same problem. It's as simple as a piece of plastic that broke off from inside the user interface housing which is what depresses when you push the start button. Since it broke, clicking on the start button did nothing.

To fix it, I just superglued the piece back together and it works perfectly again.

Power is on but wont start on my Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer

The first place any tech is going start at is : Is the start switch working

I personaly have seen the plastic part that pushes the switch break and the control housing then needs replaced.
