Default Electric Clothes Dryer Problem

Door safety switch comes to mind. Also, there are a couple
thermal cut outs inside, on top of the drum and along the
air flow. Not sure if they would cut out the drum motor,
also. Or just the heat.

Our ten year old electric dryer isn't working. The light
inside comes
on, but nothing happens when we push the button to start
drying.

A month or two ago, one of the two power fuses blew.
Replacing the
fuse got the dryer working again. This time, neither fuse is
blown,
and 240 volts is being supplied to the cable going to the
dryer.

What is the most like culprit? The heating element?

Thanks,

Drum motor runs on 120V in most cases, have you put a voltmeter on the
drum motor leads???
