    Dead Maytag dryer
    Five yr old Maytag dryer suddenly doesn't come on at all. I tested that I am getting proper voltage to the outlet & terminal block and the door switch continuity test shows it's fine.

    From what I've read it seems thermal fuse and maybe timer are the most likely remaining culprits. Am I on track? And if so, any idea where a Maytag Performa thermal fuse would be and/or how to test the timer?

    Measured voltage at the motor and it is getting 110V there. (I assume it's supposed to be 110 at the motor - it's a 220V circuit obviously.) Does this mean it's the motor? Or could the thermal fuse (or something else) still possibly cause this problem?
