Default My Dryer only has low heat
Model Number: LER4434AQO   Brand: Whirlpool   Age: More than 10 years   

Can you help?
I'm having troulbe geting my clothes to dry. I am restarting my dryer over and over to dry the clothes. I have some heat, but it seems to be just very low temperature heat. I have taken out the heating element and tested it. It seems to be fine. Do you think I should order the "high limit thermostat" to fix this problem?

Try it with the vent hose removed from the dryer to see if you may have an air flow problem from the dryer to the outside, also be sure the blower wheel on the motor is not loose....

There is good air flo comming from the back, The air isnt very warm, Could this be the heating element?

You will need a meter to check things. Probably a burnt wire somewhere.
