with the help of another hand open the dryer door, oress the door sw. turn drum in clockwise rotation while having someone press the start button.
if the unit starts it would be a motor centrifigal start sw. out that is mounted on the motor. in most cases it is easier and cheaper to replace complete motor assembly and not just the sw.

hope that helps
