Can a blown Cutoff fuse keep my dryer from starting

Changed thermal fuse and fixed heater coil that was grounded. It blew the timer which I also fixed and have Continuity everywhere except the cutoff fuse. It still won’t start. Is this why are is it Control panel issues?

What exact model is this? We need to know that in order to try and look at the schematic and yes a bad cutoff can be the issue, but there may be more going on here.

Ben Lewis, I can confirm that if the fuse is bad the dryer won't start or will run but not heat. So I would suggest to start with the fuse.
