My dryer is the devil. As soon I I fix one thing something else goes wrong. It is model # 417.98702891 when I turn the on knob it is not cutting on. I thought the dryer may have overheated, so I waited, a day later it is still not turning on. What could it be now? I am so fed up with this dryer.

It is most likely the thermal fuse. If you take the back off the dryer, and look in the back, you will see a white part about an inch and a half long, and a half inch wide. Make sure the dryer is unplugged, and take the two wires off of it, and put them together, and put a little tape around it so it does not hit metal, and plug it back in and see if it comes on. If so replace it. If not check the door switch. If you need me you can reach me at my web site at ApplianceEducator.com Tom
