Question Dryer won't start
Brand: Tappan
Model Number: TDE546REWO
Age: 5 - 10 years

Moved to new location and had to change the dryer cord from 3 to 4 prong plug.
Dryer will not start. Have checked breaker. It is getting power to the start button. What else should I be checking?

In the back where the cord is hooked inside the dryer there is a thermal limiter.

Check and make sure one of the wires did not come off of it.
