Initially, the dryer problem was that it would start to heat up then stop heating after a couple minutes. Following the threads here in the APPros forums, I determined that I needed to replace the Main and Secondary coils. I did this and it worked! ... Well, kinda, in that the dryer does continue to heat now throughout the full cycle.

However, the dryer is not reaching the heat level it did previously. I watched as it took 3 cycles (approx 60 mins each time) to dry a normal sized load of clothes. While it heats up, it's not getting as hot as it used to.

Do I have a thermostat problem?

Thanks in advance.

Well, that was my initial thought. I was hoping for confirmation before throwing more money (especially after just purchasing the coils) and time at it. The dryer is only 2 years old. Seems a bit odd for the thermostat to be going out.

Perhaps I didn't do something correctly when putting it back together after replacing the coils, although the process was fairly straight-forward.

Still hoping to get a professional's input if possible. :)
