Whirlpool dryer (electric) model:LER5620KQ1

you will need to include the model number of the unit for a proper answer as there are too many answer possibilities to list.
The model number is usually listed just inside the door opening.

-There are couple things that cause a dryer no to work:
-Thermal fuse, heater element, door switch, start switch.

Good luck

Hi. this is quite normal when you dry heavy items. the dryer has sensors inside the compartment that will sense cotton and wool garment. if needed, the thermal regulator will adjust the element to the appropriate range. If there is a problem, the electronic thermal fuse will blow. this is the safety feature that will trigger itself if a fire or over heating is sensed. Also, if your selector knob is set to a cotton or high heat mode, the element will normally glow intensively during this cycle.


Please rate and god bless.

this could be that your belt is broken there is a switch when the belt breaks it stop working thanks from gilles

yes the start whinding shot,,,replace motor..

alot of dryers have temp overload fuse

there is only 1 element. were you taking these readings with the wires on them?
the other 2 were thermostats.was there lots of lint?
sounds like you may have bad thermostat.

Hi rfairess


it sounds like the high limit thermostat is cutting out and not resetting itself.

Sounds like you have a stopped up vent on your home, when the vent gets stopped up the dryer can't circulate the air properly in the dryer and causes it to get to hot which causes the high limit thermostat to kill power to the element. If you need more help with this visit the link below:
