My dryer Quit???

Anyone here an appliance repairman? I went to throw some clothes in the dryer for the wife, and nothing.... No spin, no heat, nothing. I checked the breaker, and i have power at the plug. I have power at the heating element and various spot on the timer. I have checked the door switch and it;s fine. It's a Maytag, and is about 8 years old. I never had any problems at all with it. I'm thinking It's the motor/blower module. Any ideas?

Just make sure it is secured... we don't need to hear how a dryer can fly down the interstate... just like someone on here did with a fridge...

Check the voltage on both sides of your wall outlet. If you don't have 110v on both sides that can cause the problem you are describing.

I got 240 at the wall plug. 240 at the motor blower module. Nothing at the motor. I checked the thermal switches, and fuse and all is good. I touch the heater element an get 120 on each.
