Most likely you tripped the over heat fuse. This will happen if your vent hose is clogged or worse inside the machine's plumbing from filter to vent hose. Look up the electrical diagram and figure out where it is, yours should be in the back of the machine but verofy. Get a Digital Volt Meter at Harbor Freight $5.00 and measure the OHMs on the fuse, if it fails then you need to replace it but first make sure vent is clear or it will trip again. Fuse is there to keep from over heating and a fire hazard. Post your findings, Jim

I think I remember that code as the thermal shut off being bad and needs replacement, hence will not start, its an easy repair and the part is aroune 10-20 bucks

On mine, nothing "clamps down". There are 3 positions in the plastic rack into which you can insert the wire rest - "F", "H", and "A". God knows what they mean (I think the one rack is intended to be used in various dryers, of different depths), but if I use the rearmost position = "A", the back end of the wire rest rests on the non-moving rear of the drum, and the front of the rack rests on the lint screen holder. Seems to work, but the instructions leave a lot to be desired.

Sounds like the belt is bad or the motor needs to be replaced. Unplug unit. When you open it up get a block of wood (a piece of 2x4 works) if your units are stacked on top of each other, pull the dryer towards you approx 2inches. You are going to push on the top of the dryer and insert the board underneath the dryer. The reason you pulled the dryer forward was to keep the dryer from slipping backwards while working on it. Now check the two bottom corners on the front of they dryer.occasionally there are screws holding the kick plate. Take these off, pull out and down and look for broken belts. Be sure to vacuum any loose lint while you have the unit open. Good luck.

Locate your thermal fuse, thermostats and heating element and check the OHM's if it reads 1, that component needs replacing. if 000.1 you are good to go.

It sounds like either a bra wire is stuck, or if it's grinding, then the bearings have gone
