A cheap $2 ohm meter will tell you which one. Dryer bulkhead replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL LTE5243DQ2 WASHER/DRYER LAUNDRY SYSTEM \| AppliancePartsPros.com

Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times, sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker. If this does nothing, check 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 terminal strip in the machine to make sure none are loose or burned out If OK Check the power at the terminal strip. [COLOR="Red"]Be careful as 240 volts is lethal !!! [/COLOR] If you are unfamiliar with electricity then get a pro in to check/fix the unit.
