Roper Dryer will not start

My dryer will not start. :frowning: I took the back off and disconnected the thermal fuse. I bypassed the wires by connecting the two together. Still will not start. When they were disconnected it started twice but did not stay running. :confused: It only started after pushing the start button several times. Not sure what to do. It is only a 1 1/2 year old dryer. Any suggestions from anybody would be great

Thanks:) :slight_smile:
