What exactly is wrong with your dryer? The best thing you can do is to check the thermal fuse (#7 on the bulkhead part break down diagram) for continuity. Replace it if it's open. The thermal fuse  - The part number for the thermal fuse AP3132867 According to the manufacturer instructions, if the thermal fuse is open, the cycling thermostat has to be replaced too. The cycling thermostat  - The part number for the cycling thermostat AP3131939 - Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool dryer Model LEC8858EQ0Gene.

The dryer will not turn on, I have power. Was informed it may be the fuse. I do not have meters at my disposal.
