My dryer is quite old and this past summer took longer than normal to dry. This past weekend it quit drying. Live Chat says there are 2/3 thermostats listed and I need to find out from someone which to replace. There's a list of 36 "close matches", but am hoping someone can help me with better than a "close match", please and thank you.

Here's what you need to do.
Get a multi-meter if you do not already have one (or even better find a friend who has one and will use it for you)
Check to make sure you have 120v to each side of the connection block.
Then unplug the machine and take off the back. You will see the thermostats/thermal fuses. Test each one for continuity. The one that is open is your problem.
While you have the back off clean out the lint chute and the venting both internal and the vent tube to the outside. It is likely obstructed and caused your slow drying and the fuse/themostat to fail.
Your model number is not correct, there should be 8 digits after the 110.
Good luck
