Interior light and control panel work. I bypassed thermostat, still doesnt work. I cleaned lots of lint in front of 2 sensors inside front lint trap area, still doesnt work. I can hear a clear srong click from main relay when I try to turn on dryer. I suspect a sensor may be preventing operation. Any suggestions?

take a screwdriver and push it in below the door at the top of the bottom panel, near each end of the panel, there is a springclip to pry on that that releases the panel and it will fold out and then lift off. then you can get access by removing a few screws.
BE SURE TO UNPLUG BEFORE WORKING ON IT.

it sounds like your heating element is gone bad. there is no heat if they burn out or get corroded
Poor air flow would be my guess. How long is the vent hose? Does it have more than one angle/turn before venting outside? Is the lint gathering around the outer edges of the door? Keeping the length of air travel shorter will improve the operation.

Luckily, dryers are light. Best thing to do is pull it out until you can remove the back cover. (unplug it first) Then vacuum and clean all the dust and lint you can. This should be a yearly thing at least anyway. Replace the back plug it in and slid it back. I do mine every 6 months or so.
