I have a Kenmoore model # 110.66642500 dryer. The day it went out completely, it had been running for 5-10 minutes and shutting off. Then, it wouldn't start at all the next day. I bought a motor offline (used) and replaced it. It's still not turning on. Four days of laundry in a five family home, laundry is piling high and I'm out of ideas. Any answers would be great. I can't afford a new or used dryer.

What was wrong with the motor that you replaced? Did it have a blown winding or was it grounded? There are many reasons that will keep a motor from running. What have you done to troubleshoot it with a meter? Look at these manuals: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8010163/Kenmore%20Dryer%20Manuals.zip
