Mend Maytag Thermal Fuse

Maytag PYE2300AYW - Won't Run?

Ran earlier today, but will not start now.

Checked Thermal Fuse with OHM meter, good.
Checked Momentary Switch on Timer with Meter - Good
Timer runs, motor not running.

There is a NON-RESETTABLE fuse.....somewhere according to the Electrical Schematic, but not sure where it is. Any suggestions as to next step to look at. Motor turns free....Dryer wheel turns free. Also....Door switch works, per OHM meter.

Suggestions appreciated.

Found the answer. There is a Thermal Fuse UNDER the heating coil. It had failed. Bought kit for $35, it was not too difficult to replace (just be careful and don't drop the screws). Runs like new.....(as I was trouble shooting, cleaned out all lint in base and exhaust...not much, but some.).
