GE electric dryer won't turn on

I have a dryer that is about 4 years old. It was working, I changed loads and now it won't do anything. It dried the last load fine, the clothes were warm and I stopped the dryer to take out the dry clothes. But now nothing at all. Checked breaker and it was fine. Thanks for help.

Check your door switch, make sure it is operational.

If the door switch checks good, the start switch could be faulty, in newer dryers, the start switch is built into the timer, in older dryers, your start switch may be seperate, if you have to push on the timer dial to start the dryer, its built into the timer.

Check any other safteys that may be stuck open, I cant think of any right off hand, but double check anyway. If it wont do ANYTHING, Id say its the door switch, or the start switch.

If you are still having problems, please post.

The thermal fuse is bad and needs to be replaced. It is located on the back side of the blower housing. It is about 3/8" wide and about 2/12" long
