My dryer is not turning on. I did have to turn the power off today a few times by flipping the circuit breaker. Could that have cause something to blow? If so, where would the part be located? Thanks!

I would flip the dryer's breaker on/off slowly a couple times
Sometimes you can loose half of the 240 volts without actually tripping the breaker
Next I would check to see if you have 240 volts at the plug and there is also 120 volts on each side to Neutral.

If OK then the door switch, then the thermal fuse

Thanks. It was a bad circuit breaker in the garage panel. It was only pulling 110. Replaced it and were back in business. Thanks again!!
