Answer

Leigh, the push to start switch WP3398094 and the thermal fuse WP3392519 would be tested for continuity while the dryer is unplugged. A test that can be done to identify a possible failure is to open the door and tape the door switch down. With the start button pressed and held, does the drum rotate? If it does, then the start switch has failed. If not, try to rotate the drum. If the drum starts rotating and continues to run after the push button is released, the motor 279787 start windings have failed. If the unit still does not run, then testing the components would be necessary at this juncture.
