Here are your parts Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL YLEQ5000KQ1 | AppliancePartsPros.comHere is the wiring diagram https://www.servicematters.com/d...0Sheet%20-%208528189.pdfCould be a number of things but I would do the following first Undo the dryer from the exhaust Run a load If the load dries correctly then you have a vent problem. Clean/check the vent system. Make sure the outside louvers open fully. If you do not want lint in the house. Take a pair of pantyhose, put one leg into the other and attach this to the dryer exhaust. Leave enough room behind the dryer so it can blow out like a windsock. Run a load. Both the above will allow you to check the air flow and temp. Also the above is NOT recommended for a gas dryer due to possible carbon monoxide problems. |

I just had this problem. I was ready to buy a new one, but thought I'd give fix it a shot. I went to buy the Ignitor and was told by the counter person that 80% of the time the problem could be fixed by replacing the thermal fuse. I bought both parts, went home and replace the thermal fuse firs, and it worked. I'm sure glad I went to a place that had honest, knowledgeable employees.
