If the timer is running, the first thing to do is check the door switch. The other possibility, is a dirty set of contacts on the motor itself.

If it isn't heating, it could be the heating element.

What kind of dryer is it? Model brand? You could always go to the site of the manufacturer and look it up possibly.

I bought a washer and dryer last year and three weeks after I bought it, I would push the button and heard a clicking. I had power, but nothing happened. I called the place where I bought it and they came and looked at it and ended up replacing it with another brand new dryer. It was the motor or something.

In reality any touching of the wires should be done with it unpluged. Or you will get a shock
