Repair & Advice
Dryer stopped working - no power - took dryer apart and tested thermal fuses as well as power cable- all were ok. Was glad I took dryer apart - there was a bunch of lint inside the dryer itself, including around the heating element, which is a definite fire hazard. After cleaning the inside of the dryer and testing components inside, I determined the control panel was the issue as a last resort. **Would start here next time if no power / after confirming power cord is ok** When I took the control panel out there was an "burnt" odor and could see a small electronic component was black/ charred. Appears may have occurred from power surge. I received the new control panel from Parts Dr. in a timely manner and was able to install it in no time. Dryer has been working fine/ without issue. I am not an appliance technician - just watched a bunch of youtube videos bought a multi meter and went to work. Washer and Dryer are about 5 years old - way too soon and costly to replace. To replace the control panel itself takes under 30 minutes - determining what was wrong and learning how to take the dryer apart took some time - but if handy and and you have some time, and like to save some cash - well worth it.

Repair & Advice
I did some research to see what the problem might be. I figured it was something with the main control board since it wouldn’t even turn on & we had checked to make sure the outlet was good & the breaker wasn’t thrown. I refused to call appliance repair because I wasn’t going to spend the money for something I thought I could fix. I ordered the part from Parts Dr. it was super easy to find the right part, ordered it, and got it super quick. It took me about 20 minutes & 2 screwdrivers and the dryer was fixed!!!!! It’s working perfectly now.
