Default Dryer doesn't run
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 500 series
Age: Less than 1 year

Electric dryer doesn't run at all. Took off the back panels and didn't see any burnt wires. I reset the breaker switch a few times and still doesn't run. I can not get to the motor because I am hoping there is a reset button of some kind.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Is the warranty period over? If not call sears service.
But other wise you probally blew a thermal fuze on the blower housing.
It 's a small white plastic fuse with 2 lite blue wires atached. This fuze protecs the motor, so if blown no power to motor. if the vent is blocked, and dryer overheats fuze blows.
test the fuze for continuity if bad replace, but look for a reason it blew
