Power comes on dryer will not start is not the door switch I checked what could it be
For model number GTDP740ED0WW
Hello John, thank you for your question. A blown thermal fuse PartSelect Number PS3496852 often prevents an electric dryer from starting. We hope this helps.
Hello Michael, thank you for the query. We are providing you with instructions that will help you check the fuse.
1- Rotate the multimeter dial to the lowest setting for "Ohms of resistance".
2- Touch the black lead to one of the fuse’s terminals and the red lead to the other terminal.
3- If the meter display shows zero ohms of resistance, the fuse has electrical continuity and has not blown. If the meter display shows no significant change, the fuse has no continuity, which means it has blown and will need to be replaced.
We hope this helps!

How do you test the control board
For model number GTDP740ED0WW
Hi Michael, thank you for reaching out. You can test the control board by doing a continuity test. To measure the continuity of a component on a control board, you need to disconnect the power source and turn off the device. Then, you need to connect the probes of the multimeter to the two ends of the component. The red probe can go to either end, and the black probe can go to the other end. The multimeter will emit a beep or a tone if there is continuity and display the resistance reading on the screen or the scale. Let us know if you have further questions!

Clinking noise like loose change
And shuts off after 5 minutes
Why what could it be
For model number GTDP740ED0WW
Hello, Thank you for your question. I would recommend checking the pulley and idler arm assembly, as well as the front rollers. Once those are checked and if they all check out okay, I would look into the motor. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair.

The end repair was very simple and took minimal effort. The time and difficulty was all in the testing. I disassembled the dryer and removed the drum and then hard wired each thermo-fuse to determine where the fault was. After test all of those I was stumped. When I opened the door the light would not come on so I assumed it was a pow
... Read moreer fault closer to the source. However after all of my testing I couldn't find anything wrong. I then removed the light bulb and realized it was burned out which led me to the door switch being the fault. I removed the switch and soldered the three wire together and the dryer started right up! All I had to do was order a new $15 part, unsolder the wires and plug them in. Would have been so much simpler if that light bulb hadn't of been burned out causing me to over think my diagnosis. This was my first major appliance repair and I did it with only the help of the parts diagram provided on the website.
I removed the door and "flipped" it to open right to left. Rather than remove the existing door latch I added the purchased latch on the right side to enable opening the door right to left or left to right.
