Yes the operating and cycling thermostat is the same thing.

When you changed the temp setting did you check the exhaust temp.
There should have been a change.
You need to check the resistance of the operating thermostat's internal heater and the 10 to 10,000 ohms that is switched in for the different temp settings.

I would recommend removing one of the wires from the thermostat's heater (violet), taping it up so it cannot short to anything and giving it a try but am not sure as this may blow the 196 degree fuse.

I have the same issues with my whirlpool dryer. I have to put it on two cycles to dry. ( my washer is great) I am going to check the seals to make sure it's not tripping with cooler air coming through. Next is to replace that cycling/operating thermostat I guess.

I went ahead and ordered the thermostat...Not sure about the seal deal...it seemed a little out of my league. I'm hoping this is it...otherwise, I guess its that and I will have to figure it out. But for a three, four year old dryer I wouldn't expect the seals to go and I would expect an electronic issue. We shall see. I will let you know if the fix works as I should be getting the part by Thursday.

I went downstairs to my dryer after reading this and posting. I took off the lint catcher from the inside of the dryer, (3 screws) I cleaned the whole thing, after I unplugged the sensor wires, they were so covered in thick lint. I took the sensors off cleaned those( they were gross) and replaced everything, it's working just fine now. It used to take 2, 60 minute timed cycle drys to dry my clothes. I set it on normal with med heat and let the sensors take over...it dried a full load perfectly. Go figure.
