With the dryer unlugged access the switch on the front of the motor.  Remove the 2 red wires from 1 and 2 on the switch, these will be the ones right next to the motor body.  With the motor off attach your ohm meter to these 2 terminals, the needle should not move.  Now look into the front of the motor and you will see a metal tab. assy with springs attached to it.  Take your finger or a flat blade screw driver and pull that forward till it clicks and you should show a reading on your ohm meter.  Release this clutch and the needle will go back down.  Work this clutch back and fourth and see if the button on the switch is giving cont. each time.  There might be some lint blocking this from pushing the button each time.  2 screws hold this switch onto the motor, you can carefully remove these and remove the switch to see if the button is sticking.   Hold this switch together as it will fall apart spilling its guts all over without the 2 screws to hold it together.
