My dryer won't start. The control panel seems to function where I can select a cycle and hit start
I then hear a relay click but the motor never turns on. I get error 009: eERROR_DRUM_MOTOR. I have replaced the motor withe a new one and the control panel with a different used panel but have the same problem. The thermistors read the correct valew and the thermal switches seem to be functional. Anyone have other ideas on what the problem is?

Here's the service manual for your model: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14w3Fs0MZ9pNPLyQt2VXPTVp1XF9f_FPa/view?usp=share_link

Did you ohm test the idler switch(aka belt switch)? Make sure you disconnect power to the dryer first.

Here's the idler switch for your model: Switch Idler WE04X10184

Also ohm test the door switch: Switch Door WE04X10180

Here's the main control board for your model: Pcb Asm Ui-Mc and Sw WE04X25559

Looks like I found the issue. The heater relay on both boards is cooked. Thanks for the help tracking it down!

Good job finding the problem, yes I see it burnt on the main control board.
