Dryer will not start. Dryer was not heating up, so heating element was replaced as it was obvious it was a bad element when dryer was opened. Dryer ran for about a day, now the dryer will not run, i have power and no errors on the display, but when i hit the start button it only makes a click sound and does not run. checked for continuity on fuses, the thermosistor showed to be bad, i bypassed the thermosistor, just to be sure but still does not run.

And here is a service manual

The click may be the motor relay.
Did you remove the wires from one side of any device you were measuring, just to ensure you are not reading an alternate/parallel circuit path?
Also note that this unit has two thermal fuses in line with the motor.
