whirpool dryer won't go past "sensing"

I have a Whirlpool Gold dryer, model GEX9868JT0 that won't go past "sensing" when starting a cycle. I am guessing control board?

Thanks!

Hi,

It could be the control but it is possible you have a different problem. You may have a harness problem. Check all connects to be sure everything is plugged in good and doesn’t show sighs of corrosion.

Is the motor running? If the motor isn’t running the thermo fuse is most likely. On this model the thermo fuse only cuts the motor off so the control may light up.

If the motor is running try it on timed cycle and see if it works then. If it does work on timed dry check to see if it is heating properly.
