Check voltage to dryer, door switch and thermal fuse to begin with.
Have done that and have continuity to all. Thanks
Did you remove wires from thermal fuse when checking for continuity?
Is there 240 volts going to dryer?
Do you hear door switch clicking when manually pressed?
Yes there is 240 volts to dryer. The door switch does click when manually pressed.
Yes I did remove the wires when checking thermal fuse for continuity.
Probably the timer then.

1st be sure both breakers are on at breaker box, if that doesn't solve the problem, remove back panel and ohm out thermal fuse it's probably flat, white with 3 wires.

Before you run in there with a hammer, is there any way to simply turn off the buzzer alert? I have a different dryer, but I can disable the buzzer. Please check the operator's manual first. If you've gotten to the point of no return, you can disable the buzzer - carefully. Never leave any exposed wires dangling about.

In the back of your thin twin dryer is a small white flat fuse attached with a screw, a clip, and two spade clips and wires. This is a thermal fuse and if tripped will cause your dryer to do nothing. Check with multimeter for continuity and replace if necessary. Also inside machine is a black tubular capacitor that will cause dryer to not run. Again, remove after properly discharging capacitor. Using multimeter check capacitor for continuity and potential. Obviously disconnect all power to machine before even thinking about repair. 240 volts will kill you dead.

The belt is broken and needs to be checked for any other part that has failed causing the belt to burn.

Check the lid switch, the machine will not spin or drain without the lid switch being activated. You should be able to see if the switch actuator is broken or missing, look in the slot where the lid's plunger drops into, if you can see the gray plastic actuator, set the machine in the spin cycle and try to depress the switch with a flat screwdriver, if it runs, the switch is cracked and needs replaced, if the actuator looks fine, and you can hear a distinct "click" when you press down on it, it may be a problem in the timer, but check the lid switch first, that's most likely the problem.
