3. If the breaker / fuse checks out ok in the panel check that the dryer cord is properly connected to the dryer terminal block and make sure the connections are tight. Look for any burned spots at the terminal and on the cord itself.

4. If the cord is good and the terminal block looks good then check the wall plug for loose wiring  or bad contacts. If your home wiring is good, the cord is good and the dryer terminal block is good then the problem lies in the main control board and it will have to be replaced.
