Here are the parts
Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL LER4634JQ2 29" Electric Dryer | AppliancePartsPros.com Here is the wiring diagram http://www.servicematters.com/docs/w...%208528187.pdf First try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times. Sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker and the heating coil requires the full 240 volts. If this does nothing. Measure the voltage at the plug L1 to L2 should be 240 volts L1 to Neutral and L2 to Neutral, both should be 120 volts. If OK Unplug the unit and check the wires at the unit's terminal strip to ensure they are properly connected and none of them have burned off If OK Plug the unit in and check the voltage at the terminal strip. This is just in case you have a bad line cord. Be careful 240 volts is lethal. If OK Unplug the unit and check the heating coil and thermostats etc. for continuity. Heating coil, each side should be 20 ohms approximately. Thermostats and thermal fuse all should be 0 ohms. Be sure to disconnect one side of and device you are measuring this prevents reading an alternate/parallel circuit path. Also use your most sensitive ohms scale. If all OK Then unplug the unit put it in timed dry mid cycle. Tape one meter lead to L1 then work your way through the circuit, one device at a time leaving the lead attached to L1. If you get to the far side of the heater and have not found a fault then it could be the centrifugal switch on the motor is not closing or it's contacts are shot.
