    So the dryer powers up and you can select the cycle, but nothing happens when you press the start button? Have you checked the door switch? Are you holding the start button down for 3 seconds?

    I am also assuming that you checked the power input into the dryer at the outlet and where the cord attaches? If that checks out, then I agree with your diagnosis of the problem.
