@thebikerchef what is the exact model number for your dryer? Do you have to wait to turn it back on or can you do that immediately?

Unplug the dryer, and remove the back cover. Using a multimeter, test each of the electrical components one at a time, removing the wires before testing. I suggest using an analog multimeter (the one with the needle) - they are very simple to use and understand. If the multimeter needle moves, the part is likely good. If the needle doesn't move, the part is likely bad. Replace the bad part.
