Dryer shuts off during cycle - Whirlpool LER5636P Electric Dryer

The drier works fine and heats during the cycle and then when the cycle is over the heat quits but the drier keeps running? Does it shut off when you open the door?

How old is your dryer?

if it works on auto but not on time you have a bad timer,it's not counting down,it's better to use auto anyway,when the clothes dry the dryer shuts off on it's own,this way your not using extra electricity,if your clothes dry in 30 minutes and it's on 60 minutes it will still run after the clothes are dry on auto it doesn't.if you open the door and look around the opening you'll see a tag with the model number,your missing a couple of letters on the model number.

Well it is supposed to cycle on and off all during the drying cycle or the clothes would be cooked! Air restrictions can cause the controls to shut down prematurely. The control is designed to shut off heat when it gets to be 160f in the machine. To test that the machines needs to be buckled up.

During the auto-drying cycle, the moisture sensor could be the problem.

If it also shuts off prematurely during the timed cycle, the operating thermostat could be turning the heaters off before the machine reaches operating temperature. Another possibility is that the operating thermostat does not turn off the heaters at all. When the machine heats up, it gets too hot and the high limit thermostat turns the dryer off.

My Kenmore Total Care dryer (with even heat) shuts off during drying cycle with the dryer displaying a "E 1" error message. What is this?

During normal operation, the display may show: “ad” - dryer is in an auto dry cycle. “dn” - cycle is done in auto dry. “PF” - a power failure to the board has occurred. “Err” - an error has been detected. “LOC” - control lock is activated. “PAU” - cycle has been interrupted.

Hi, If the motor is shutting down mid cycle and can not be restarted untill cooled, the motor will need changed. It is shutting off on a safety overload. These motors cost about $145.00
Please let me know if I can assirt you further.

Motor is getting hot and shutting down. Probably have to replace motor or clean it.

First, check your breakers and wiring. There are two breakers usually linked together. Turn both off and back on. Not that? Make sure you've got controls set right. Still? You will have to shut power, get a multimeter and use the diagram on the back of the unit to see if the thermostat is working, the high limit is continuous and the elements are good.
