Follow up - for the benefit of all:

I just received the part and installed it - and the dryer is back to
working perfectly.

Thank you all for your guidance and help!

3. THERMAL CUT-OFF (P/N 3398671) - open circuit !!!

Sounds like you've found the culprit! Did it looked "cooked"?

Thanks! I am pretty sure this is the part that needs replacement
although it doesn't look "cooked". I have verified with with of the
web sites that you provided that indeed the thermal cut-off part
should be normally conducting. It isn't, thus it is the culprit. I
will shortly order the part.

If possible, you could jumper the connections to that part (i.e., short
or bypass it) for a moment to test your theory before ordering the new
part.
