Elec dryer suddenly stopped?

In article 969c82d4-4336-44f4-8270-fea5ec4bdf14
@x41g2000hsb.googlegroups.com, says...
I have a 10 year old Whirlpool electric clothes dryer and I had it
operating this morning. I heard it shut itself off and when I went
over to it the control dial was in the middle of the drying setting.
Pushing the start button had no effect as did opening/closing the
dryer door.

The breaker for the unit was not tripped so not sure what happened
(power-wise).

When I get home this evening I'll need to do some trouble shooting. I
was planning on taking my voltmeter to the rear contacts to make sure
power is still applied.

Does an electric dryer have an internal 'fuse' that might have
tripped?

Anything else I can look for?

Check the door-open safety switch; it's a common point of failure on
Whirlpool dryers.
