Using the potty knife release 2 clips(one on each side top) and open the panel. If the dryer is working but not heating it's not the thermal fuse. First of all check your circuit beakers, flip them back and forth. Then check the heating element, the hi - limit, the thermal cut off. You may want to remove the filter housing for easier access. The hi -limit Part number: AP2973862 The heating element Part number: AP2947033 The thermal cut off Part number: AP3094224 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Whirlpool GEQ9800LW1 27"ELECTRIC DRYER \| AppliancePartsPros.com Thank you. Post the results. Simon.
