Does your interior light work. Only applies if it was working before this occurred.
If it does work then your problem is probably the door switch
If it does not work then it is probably the Thermal Fuse

Here is a link to your drier. It includes a wiring diagram

I replaced my thermokit and it worked for 4 hrs and quit again. Any ideas now? it was a new kit? could it be faulty.

No if it blew again, your vent is clogged. I mean the vent the blows outside. The only reason that it blew again is because the air is not escaping from the dryer like it should. Relace the thermal fuse again, that is the one that is the size of a dime. Then turn the dryer on fluff, that is no heat, and go out side and see if the air is coming out. It should come out pretty hard. If it is not coming out you can try to clean it yourself. A cruel way to do it if you can is get a garden hose, ofcourse no water needed. and turn the dryer on fluff, and get the garden hose, and push it in and out so it can loosen the lint, and with the dryer on it will push the loose lint out. If that doesnt work well you would need to call a air duct cleaner out to clean that line. I can be reached at my web site T. PAONE's APPLIANCE SALES & SERVICE GUIDE Tom
