Dryer control panel not lighting now...replaced thermistor and fuse

Ok, replaced everything that could have been a problem…thermistor and fuse along with the sensors and wiring harness. It worked for ONE load…and died. Went back in and taped the two fuse wires together to see if it was the fuse, nothing lit up on the control panel. Nothing. Ok, now before I go and replace the $200 control panel, any sugestions? I got some good info from "Charley" and hope that will work…any other suggustions??? Would be helpful for a struggling semi-handy homeower!! Thanks!-S:confused:
