I guess this prevented the barrel from turning. When I tried to start the dryer, the lights on the controls would work but the drum would not turn. No wierd sounds, it just would not start turning. Not sure if any heat created. What repair/parts could this indicate?

Check it with the multimeter for continuity (with one wire off). The fuse Part number: 3392519 Don't forget to unplug the dryer while checking. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Whirlpool YWED9550WL1 ELECTRIC DRYER | AppliancePartsPros.com Thank you. Post the results. Simon.

So he concluded that it was the main electrical board (I can't remember what he called it). Sound reasonable? Looking at a week to order and deliver:(
