    Electric Kenmore Dryer stopped mid-dry, won't start again
    My multi-year-old Kenmore Heavy Duty Wrinkle Guard I (I love it!) just stopped mid-dry. It was on timed cycle. Now, it won't start in any mode. I've opened and closed door for any trip switch problem. I've tried different modes. The timer/mode knob has no variance in feel as I move from one mode to another; only a click is heard/felt as the knob is turned ending a mode. There was no burning smell or cord melt. It doesn't appear to be a venting problem. Is it a timer? A thermal fuse? A belt? A sensor? Although it is an old dryer, I'd repair it if it doesn't cost more than a third or so of a new one. Your thoughts, please. Thanks.

    This post might be helpful.

    The thermal fuse would be a good first guess, and a cheap/easy fix.

    Best of luck,
