Go to cause #2 next due to the clicking:
Cause 1
Thermal Fuse
The thermal fuse is a safety device designed to protect the dryer from overheating. The fuse is located on the blower housing or at the dryer’s heat source such as the heating element on electric dryers or at the burner on gas models. The fuse should be closed for continuity meaning it has a continuous electrical path through it when good. If overheated the fuse will have no continuity meaning the electrical path is broken and the fuse has blown. A multimeter can be used to test it for continuity. Be aware that a blown thermal fuse is an indication of a restricted exhaust vent from the dryer to the outside. Always check the dryer venting when replacing a blown thermal fuse.
Cause 2
Start Switch
To determine if the start switch is defective, attempt to start the dryer. If the dryer hums but does not start, the start switch is not at fault. If the dryer does not respond or make any noise, the start switch could be at fault. Use a multimeter to test the start switch for continuity. If the switch does not have continuity, replace it.
Cause 3
Door Switch
The door switch activates when the dryer door is closed. On most dryers, the door switch makes an audible clicking sound when it activates. To determine if the door switch is working, try starting your dryer and then listen for the “click.” If the door switch makes a clicking sound, it is probably not defective. If you don’t hear a click, use a multimeter to use the door switch for continuity. If the switch does not have continuity, replace it.

Thank you for your assistance!!
Mayer what if you hit the start button and hear the relays kick on but the motor does not run? Also it looks like the timer works when you hit start but it will jump from a normal cycle time (ie:58 min) to 1 minute then to the LEDs on the front going around in a square pattern as if it has finished.
writhing use a multimeter and check the wiring to the motor
what if you hit the start button and hear the relays kick on but the motor does not run? But if I push drum to the start then motor start..

Rajat Bharti same dryer? It does not start when you push the start button but does start if you move the drum by hand first? If that is correct my first suspect would be failed start windings on the motor.
I turn timer on and push start button Nothing I keep turning it then i see the timer motor turning so i push power button to turn on but still nothing but the timer still running
