So I have this vintage Kenmore gas dryer from around 1979 that I can’t figure out why it won’t turn on anymore. I put in a new door latch as I thought it could be the problem the old latch was so worn out the hamper door wouldn’t close all the way but the dryer still worked lol . This dryer was working fine until one day I moved it so I can use my other vintage electric dryer a few weeks past and I wanted to use my gas dryer again so I hooked it up and no power whatsoever . I know I didn’t pull any wires from moving it I was generally gentle with it during the moving process. I really don’t know what to check on it the power cord looks fine . Your thoughts would be a big help thanks

does the outlet have power?...fuse blown?

any sounds from the machine?...timer?...interior light?

could be a wire pulled off or a thermal fuse can knock out a whole machine....

 The electrical outlet works and when I get the time I will look for possible disconnections inside if the dryer. No timer sounds or motor it completely will not work no sounds but I hope I can find something. Thanks
