Lights come on my Whirlpool duet front load dryer and then it just clicks but does not turn on. Model YGEW9200LW1 s/n MP3107615
Check to see if the timer still counts down after you press the start button. Most of the time when this common issue happens, the dryer won't run but the timer will still count down. If the timer is counting down, this means that your thermal fuse has gone bad and will need to be replaced. If you remove the 3 screws along the bottom of the lower front panel, you can remove the lower front panel by pulling down and forward. Unplug the dryer and look behind the lint filter enclosure to the left. There is a little 1" thin flat white plastic device attached to the top of the blower wheel housing. You will need to order and replace this fuse to correct your problems.Just for reference, the only other thing that can cause this issue is if the dryer thinks the belt is broken. So when you have the lower front panel off, do make sure the belt isn't laying on the ground broken. There is a switch next to the motor that is activated when the belt is taut. If by chance the belt is attached and the fuse happens to be good or when you replace it you still have an issue, you'll need to replace the belt switch.
