You either have no power coming to the dryer. So if you have a volt meter, check the power where the plug goes into the dryer for proper power. You could also try to flip the dryer breaker off and on a few times, and then check it. Also, the door switch could be bad. Tom www.applianceeducator.com:cool:

On a gas dryer, the thermal fuse will only stop the ignitor coil from coming on if it were bad. On an electric dryer it would shut the whole thing down. Tom ApplianceEducator.com
