LER4634EQO Whirlpool Heavy Duty Extra Large Capacity 4 cycle 3 temptures My dryer is not heating. I have checked the breaker(s). There is not much lint around the dryer in the back or the vent, what there was I have cleaned up.

The problem is likely in the thermal cut-off (cut-out) and the high-limit thermostat located on the heating element housing. Verify this condition by bypassing the said components. Disconnect power then remove the rear access panel to access the thermal cut-off (cut-out) and the high-limit thermostat. Disconnect the wires of each component then connect them together and insulate it properly. Reconnect power then start the dryer. The problem is indeed in the thermal cut-off (cut-out) and the high-limit thermostat if the dryer heats up. Replace both parts and it should solve the problem. It is an easy and cheap repair to make.



The thermal cut-off (cut-out) and high-limit thermostat are sold as a kit with part number 279816 and costs about $30.

In case the dryer still doesn't heat up with the thermal cut-off (cut-out) and high-limit thermostat bypassed, bypass the cycling thermostat then replace it if the dryer heats up. Check the heating element for broken coils if the dryer still doesn't heat up with the three components mentioned above bypassed.

We replaced the thermal cut-off and the high limit thermostat as instructed. Dryer now works better than before! Thanks so much for the info.

I have the same dryer and it's not going to at all, I have power going to unit but not turning on. What could it be..? Thanks in advance
