Repair & Advice
Make sure power to the dryer is disconnected. Remove the five bolts that hold the back cover on and set the cover aside. Disconnect the two wires going to the thermostat. (If they haven't burned loose already.) Take out the two screws holding the old thermostat in place. Remove the old thermostat. Install the new thermostat with the two screws that held the original in place. Reconnect the two wires to the thermostat. If the original terminal(s) were burned off, use the replacement wire terminals and splice the new wires to the original wires with the wire nuts included in this package. After making sure the wires and wire nuts are secure, re-install the back cover. Reconnect the power and test the dryer.

Repair & Advice
Checked breaker first. Then with multimeter checked for continuity on the door switch and start button, then checked the thermal fuse and thermostat for continuity. Easy to replace. Was a bad thermal fuse, but also replaced the thermostat which was recommended to change when putting in a new thermal fuse. Took longer to figure out which part was bad than to change out the thermal fuse and thermostat.
