Hello,
The most probable thing thats wrong causing the dryer to not start is going to be a blown thermal fuse,when it goes out it cuts power to the motor circuit...do you have a display on the front yet it wont start???? or no display??
If you do have a display yet the dryer wont start it very likely will be the thermal fuse,it fits into the blower housing below where the lint filter fits into inside of the door. To access it to check it remove the small lower front panel and it will be on the top of the blower housing,to check it measure it for continuity (ohm it out) with zero ohms resistiance.
This is what it looks like
If that turns out to be the problem be sure to take apart the blower asm. and clean all lint from it and also check the venting from the back of the dryer all the way to where it exits the house....since the usual reason the thermal fuse goes out is because of poor airflow because of built up lint/blocked vent.

I have checked the fuse and it is good. I had a local repair man look at it this weekend and he said it is a bad motor took his $80 and ran. I dont see how it could be the motor. After looking at the wiring diagram I cant see how the contol panel would do nothing if the motor was bad. That is what led me to the control board. It seems like the control panel isnt getting any power. I did install a reconditioned panel. Has anyone else ever had issues with a reconditioned panel?
