The Kenmore dryer suddenly quit working. When set the time and temperature and then press start... Nothing happens, no noise or click or winding just like no start was pushed. I have taken the top back plate off to the point that the switches, timers, etc are exposed from behind and all wires and resistors on top control panel are accessible. I can run a continuity test if needed.

Check power to outlet ensure the breaker is completely set.
Try again
If not turn power off check the door interlock switch

When I hold the start button, I can hear the timer ticking, as soon as I let it (start / push button) go, it stops ticking. The power supply is 220/240 AC and I am going to check it with a multimeter. Where is the fusible link? By exhaust pipe? I cleaned the exhaust port, there were more than usual lints, not huge amount.

OK, I tried the power outlet and power distribution at the control panel, get 245 AC Volts between Black and Red, about 121 AC Volts between Red and White. I plugged the power cord, opened the door, the drum light comes on, close it, the light goes off. I can not find the door switch connectors to check my switch. Does door switch have two switch built in one? Normally Open, and Normally Closed and COM, I assume it is common wire and it is (white). What is the short cut to checking door switch? Do I have to take front panel off?
