Brian,
Check to make sure the belt has not broke. There is a belt switch that stops the dryer from running if the belt breaks. Check your control with a multimeter at terminals P8-3 and P9-1 for 120 volts when start is pressed. If no voltage then check the door switch wires white and light blue with the door closed for continuity. If no continuity then replace the door switch, if all tests good then the motor would be the issue. If no voltage out of the control then replace the control.
