[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 518917, member: 28452"] Firstly, be really careful probing mains voltage with a cheap multimeter. It is very easy to cause a short circuit with the probes, which often have a long exposed section at the end. There is also little protection if you should select the wrong range. It's impossible to give detailed electrical fault finding advice without having any circuit diagram. What you can do is isolate the dryer from the mains, locate the control and overheat thermostats and check their continuity with your meter. Those thermostats are usually circular, about 20mm diameter with a couple of terminals stuck out. There will be at least two, maybe three. Next, check the door switch is operating correctly. There is usually a microswitch involved, sometimes two, which can fail electrically or can move out of position. Visually inspect the circuit board for burned components, tracks or connections. Finally, how old is it? If it is getting on a bit the brushes in the motor may be worn out. [/QUOTE]
