Thank you for your question. If your dryer will not shut off, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the door switch, the cycling thermostat, the thermal cut-off and the high limit thermostat. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!
The dryer will heat up immediately and it smells like something is burning, but the drum will not spin.

dryer runs after door opens and light doesn't turn on (bulb was checked and works0
For model number MEDC400VW0
Hello Ernest, thank you for reaching out. The issue seems to be with the door switch, and you may need to replace it to fix the issue. The part number is PS11741701. We hope this solves your problem!
To reach the heating element you only need to open the back cover of the dryer (about 8 nut-head screws). Remember to disconnect the power.
To remove the heating element there are two small nut-head screws. Remove the two electric wires. Then you can pull the heating element away.
You can check the heating element with an ohm-meter or visually inspect it to see if the heating element spiral wire is broken.
Don't hurry to dispose the old element. My model includes a small electric safety part. You'll need to transfer it to the new heating element (that comes without it)..
First tried heating element and thermal fuse with no luck. Ordered thermal cutoff and fixed problem. Had I used an ohm meter first I would have determined problem before having ordered heating element and fuse, as both had resistance. I wast just lazy and ordered the took the most common failed components first before taking dryer back off.
