Answer

Scott, You're on the right track, Yes the door switch has got to have a closed circuit, in order to start the machine, its not necessarily a safety, in the way you mean it. If your door switch circuit is correct, you need to check / repalce the hi limit thermal fuse assembly LA-1053 , if the thermal fuse opens due to a high heat situation, the dryer won't start as well.
