Repair & Advice
A switch which is activated if the belt ever breaks was bad.....although the belt was not bad or broken, the switch just failed...Anyway after removing the switch and checking with a ohm meter, that confirmed that it was kaput!... I did check the thermo fuse and door switch first...

Problem
Nothing happens after pressing the START button; F-028
Tools
nut drivers, needle nose plier, flashlight, multimeter, vacuum (might as well clean out the lint while you have the machine opened)
Repair & Advice
First off, remove the Toe Panel and see if there is a Tech Sheet inside of the panel. There was one with my WGD9400SW0 dryer. I followed the instructions on getting to the diagnostics mode (obtained by pressing any button, other than PAUSE/CANCEL, for two seconds on and two seconds off; do this for a series of 4 times and your fault codes history will display) It returned with an F:28. The F:28 fault code was misleading. F:28 refers to the moisture sensor which I never had a problem with. All tests relating to F:28 yielded satisfactory results . It seems the history codes are just that - history (I would like to find a way to clear them out). I then followed the Tech Sheet, troubleshooting from scratch as if I didn't have a fault code. This directed me to a faulty Belt Switch (a piece of metal broke inside) which I ordered and replaced. Working fine now. Wasted a lot of time on the F:28.
