    Depending what model you have, it could be a bad start relay, possibly a bad motor start switch, I've seen broken wires leading to the motor, and even bad motors themselves.
    This is NOT an easy problem to diagnose in many cases. Sorry!

    The light doesn't come on in the Kenmore 600 electric dryer and if I open the door, the clothes keep going around in the spinning drum instead of stopping
