The control panel lights up when you plug in the dryer, but the dryer won't start

Hello Carlos, thank you for the question. Check the thermal fuse, part number WP33001762. This safety component cuts all power to the dryer if it overheats. Use a multimeter on continuity mode and touch both terminals. If you get no beep and no reading, it's blown and needs replacement. If the thermal fuse tests good, check your door switch next. Close the door firmly and listen for a distinct click. If there's no click or the switch feels loose, test it with a multimeter for continuity while pressing it. If it fails the test, the door switch assembly, part number W10169313, has likely failed and needs replacement. We hope this is what you were looking for!

Looking for correct part number for motor pulley - it is not listed in available part list/diagram. Mine has a "751686" stamped on hex end. Thanks for any help!

Hi Chris, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, this pulley is not sold without the drive motor. You would have to replace your drive motor, part number PS11741125, to replace the pulley you have mentioned. Good luck with your repair.
