I replaced the dryer cycling t-stat and the t-stat hi limit but they didnt work. The dryer goes on for a few seconds, makes a loud noise then clicks off. I cant find where the burning smell is coming from. Also i noticed the fan turns very slowly when it does come on.can anybody help?

You can find it on the door frame. Post it as a new thread, please. Gene.
