Maytag Epic Gas Dryer beeps only when starting cycle.

[sgwilliams]

I have a Maytag Gas Dryer Model MGD9600SQ0. When I turn on the controller every thing looks ok I press start, I here a beep and what sounds like a relay and then it does not start it's cycle. The control panel is still lit. I open the door and push the safety switch in to verify the door isn't the issue and it does the same thing. I pulled the bottom cover to access the blower cover and the igniter. I started with the blower cover,it was pretty dirty but not plugged. I cleaned all the lint and debris from inside and cleaned the blower fins that was lightly caked with hardened lint. Then vacuumed all of the loose stuff out. I also checked the igniter glow start and it is not cracked or looked to be broken in any way I did not touch the element with my hands. I then ordered and installed a new dryer thermal fuse P/N: WP3392519. Not sure where to go from here. We have had this dryer and matching washer for about 18 years. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you can't just buy parts.... what I learned on YouTube they tell you a lot of things but they only give you 50% of the answers... someone has to test every thing vs factory specs to find the issue....
