    That is not your thermostat, its your heating element. You can't tell if a dryer fuse is good by looking at it but since your element is heating it is likely good. Now we need to look at the motor that spins the drum. May take another person to safely do this. Put test leads on the 2 wires going to the motor, not the green wire, it's a ground. When you push the start button can you confirm power to the motor?

Kenmore he4 panel won't work and dryer won't start [ 1 Answers ]

I have had the circuit board/panel replaced once on my he4. I had only 2 weeks left on the warranty and figured it should be OK once it was fixed. They wanted another $200 to renew the warranty! Didn't have the $$ at the time. Anyway, the same darn thing is happening... you have to push the buttons...
