I have cleaned the filter and the exhaust - light willnot go out and dryer will not turn on/
Check the exhaust hose for crimping or blockage. Some models have a drum shaped inlet that slides over the fan housing inlet. A lot of times the lint literally piles up at the bottom in that inlet drum till it begins to restrict flow.
I changed the Drum belt on my Maytag this morning and, when I removed that part to get the belt around the drum, I was able to pull out a fist full of lint that had accumulated in that inlet drum that had to get by the lint screen first.

I had exactly the same problem with my newish LG dryer. I deduced that the dryer's computer essentially needed to be rebooted. I pulled the plug for a minute or so, then plugged it back in. It works perfectly now.

i got the same problem and no repair man could help . i think i just got mine fixed 6-15-09 .what you do is go behind the dryer , remove the air duct and then remove the pipe that is inside the machine by removing one screw . this will give you access inside the machine .first clean as much as you can of the lint inside by vacuuming it . if you look to the left you will see 2 wires with a black button in the middle this is the ignitor ,clean it good because i think the dirt is not allowing it to light up . i did that and mine is working but the cooling light is still on .

are you missing any socks? if so you need to throughly check the duct chamber in the machine, get it serviced this is a fire hadzard.

You might need to check the exhaust on the rear of the Dryer, or the blower motor iether one has lint inside, restricting the air flow

actually - there is a child safety feature that prevents the dryer from starting - once that was de-activated it started right up.
