Found the thermal fuse to be bad so I replaced it. Put everything back together and now I don't even get power to the control panel. Fuse is good, door switch is good, outlet has power, but still no power to the unit. Advice?

You may want to start the troubleshooting from verifying all wires connection, step by step.

I've checked conections and they all seem to be tight and attached. Are there tech sheets for the control panel that I can use to verify connections with?

Also, by the model number you provided your dryer originally had a gas burner as a heating source.
