Dryer flashes filter check and high temp flashes. Does not start. Where to start troubleshooting. In the past, it has run just didn't heat with a bad thermister and a bad heating element. Now, nothing starts.

Check dryer output thermistor DC32-00007A and dryer thermal cutoff fuse DC47-00016A in the blower housing. Vacuum out the blower motor and fan and get your dryer vent cleaned. Make sure your connection hose isn’t pinched or restricted in any way.

Could be broken belt

Could be clogged exhaust duct too...

The  belt tensioner melted off. I replaced it. same deal. It seems like it is stuck in a drying cycle. Check filter flashes three times and it doesn't start. I vacuumed the blower, blower duct and it is disconnected from in-wall duct.

Bad run thermistor? Check the thermistor and thermal cutoff in the blower housing.

Run dryer while exhaust duct disconnected to eliminate exhaust issue.

Thanks for the input. I replaced the belt tensioner, thermal fuse and thermistor and it is alive and well. Now, laundry mountain.....
