The thermal cut-off at the top of the heater duct/housing blows when the high-limit thermostat below it fails to cycle the heating element on and off properly to regulate the heater temperature. This thermal cut-off along with high-limit thermostat including the cycling thermostat on the blower housing are wired in series with the heating element and power to it is cut when the thermal cut-off blows as a safety feature to prevent fire. Verify this condition by bypassing the said components. Click on the link below for the detailed instructions in troubleshooting this problem.

Check your breaker, turn it FULLY off and back on, and test again. Verify for full air flow outside of the building, the same volume as when the hose is off of the back of the dryer... Air flow restriction will trip thermal limiters, and turn off heat.

Open the door and check the little lever that operates the door safety switch firstIf that seems to click ok unplug it and go to the back side. Look for junk in the vent first.You see that then look for a blown duct fuseIf that fuse is open then remove the filter chute and clean it up

Hi

Check the wiring and circuits to and from the motor to the heating element and check the heating element itself for continuity or grounding. Also check the thermal fuses/thermostats and make sure you are getting 120v to each side of the connection block. If you do not find any problems you could replace the timer and see if that solves the problem.

The problem is obviously in the heating circuit which is basically composed of the heating element, thermal cut-off, high-limit thermostat, cycling thermostat, and the motor centrifugal switch. The most common part that causes the dryer not to heat is the thermal cut-off and/or the high-limit thermostat. Verify this condition by bypassing the said components.

Troubleshooting Whirlpool and Whirlpool-Made Electric Dryers Running But Not Heating

You have removed the top ... correct? and the front panel ... correct?

On the floor of the device near the motor there should be a tensioner that snaps into 2 or 4 slots. Put the belt through the tensioner and around the pulley and insert the tensioner into its slots. Lift the drum into position and reattach the front panel and then pull the top down.

Easy as pie ... right ... well ... easy to say anyway.

That is the general process for most driers. good luck with yours.

The dryer vent could be stopped up with lint.

Try checking your vent, it may be stopped up.

may have a bad roller with a flat spot on it. will require removing the front cover adn tub out of unit to check rollers in the rear where the tub rides on them.... good luck to you...

it might be the washer it is not spinning as much water out of the clothes as when it was new try double spinning the water out of the clothes

The problem is likely the dryer belt . Here is a video Dryer belt replacement video . It may be a different model but the process will be the same. You can also enter in your model # for diagrams and illustrations. Not all models are available. All parts come with installation instructions.
