Did you check the door switch. Use a continuity tester to make sure its functional.

There is a thermal fuse on these dryers, a one time fuse that once blown, will not reset. It must be replaced for the dryer to start. It's located near the element on the back bulkhead, behind the drum. There's a thermostat and a thermal fuse, they usually come together in a kit. If you're handy enough to get it apart and check the wiring you should be able to do the replacement. It requires a putty knife to get the top of unit loose and a 1/4" nut driver to get the hex screws out.

If your dryer worked the last time you used it then it's my guess your motor is okay.
It must be the switch located inside the dryer. Remove the back and you will see the wires coming from the door switch.
You will also see the motor and relay switch. Chekc to make sure they are not burned.

Also check the "start button" wiring.
