Kitchen Large Electric Appliances - kenmore dryer wont start

i have a kenmore dryer model #110.86683810 it was working fine and then it just wouldnt start its getting power, timer works, but when i push the start button nothing. i took the back panel off to see if a relay or something was burnt but i see nothing of the sort. is there some way i can test to find the problem? any help will b helpful at this point. :wall:

Hey,
First thing to check is your start switch. You need to unplug your appliance before testing.You'll need to know how to use a meter to read ohms or you can use a continuity tester.Make sure you know where the wires go, there should be two.Remove the wires and test the switch, there should not be any continuity,now press your start switch and hold it in,there should now be continuity.If it passes this test it is fine.Next thing to check would be your door switch. :coffee:

I tested for olhmson the start relay & door switch here are the results:
start relay, three prongs, 1&2 OL 1&3 0.05 w/ button pushed 2&3 OL
door switch, three prongs, 1&2 OL 1&3 1.7 w/ button pushed 2&3 0.07
Im not the most techinical person so i dont know what this means but im assuming it would be the start relay from the #'s :wall:

Hey,
All you have to do is check these for continuity and did you check your start switch or push button start?
