Dryer became very hot, then shut off. Since I was taking it apart, and given low cost for these parts (I ordered from PartsDr, which had lowest price, OEM parts, and quick delivery - parts even showed up a day early), I replaced heating element, fuses, thermostat and thermistor. Vent is clean, and door switch is working. Dryer ran fine for a day after the repair. Now, the power comes on, and it lights the sensing LED, but dryer won't run. How can I check to see if the board is bad? I found a diagnostic sequence in the FSM, and will try that before ordering the board. Any tips, or should I just cough up the big bucks for the control board?
Parts replaced (I changed all of these out through the front kick panel, after watching a youtube repair, so did not have to unstack, and take top off and drum out). Very easy repair.
