Hi there,
My wife told me she pushed the start button on our dryer, Sears Kenmore 417.84082500, and heard a pop and we haven't been able to start it since. I checked the circuit breakers at the panel, those are fine, plus the display is running anyway, so it is getting power; I checked the Thermal Fuse (looks just like Manufacturer Number 134120900 on repair clinic.... mounted on the inside of the back panel) and got 0 resistance, ie, the fuse did not appear to be blown.
When I press the start button the door switch makes an audible click and there does not sound like there is any motor noise at all, whether grinding or anything else--just silence after the door lock click.
Can you give me any suggestions as to what I might try next? Thanks in advance for your assistance....
