I don't know anything about repairing a dryer. I know we need a thermostat, but did not realize there are 3. Can anyone help me determine which one I will need?

What symptom(s) led you to conclude that you need a thermostat? What are the first three digits in the model number, before the "dot"?

Most of us, as a rule, replace all the thermostats, if one is bad. But there is usually an underlying cause of an open thermostat. The most common cause is clogged or restricted air flow. Make sure the exhaust vent is clear, from the dryer to the outside of the house.

Does the motor run?

Also, "No Heat" can be a result of an open or burned out element.
