Answer Ron, First check and make sure you have the proper voltage to the dryer. check and reset the circuit breakers at the fuse box several times. Without a model number, anything else would be a guess.

Get us a model number and we can get a diagram and assist you more efficiently and effectively. Thanks. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, November 3, 2014
