Gas dryer not heating, troubleshooting with only a jumper wire


Problem: I'm on a gas dryer service call-- no heat complaint.

Solution: Using only my jumper wire at the main board, I proved a problem with the Neutral sense line from the motor and made the burner fire up. 

Question: At what two points did I place my jumper wire to troubleshoot this problem?

I kind of assume it's something mechanical since that sensing circuit isn't a high amperage load that you would think would destroy the points?

Gotta be. Lint, broken contact leaf, something like that. I've not taken one apart to see how it failed. Good idea, though.
