The first thing I would do is check for 240V at the power outlet. If there is nothing wrong then check the following parts for continuity: 1. The heating element (#17 on the break down diagram) 2. The thermal cut-off (#6 on the break down diagram) 3. The hi limit thermostat (#15 on the break down diagram) 4. The cycling thermostat (#19 on the break down diagram) The following article on our forum will explain in detail how to run a continuity test using either an analog meter or a digital meter – How to check continuity with Ohmmeter.Any of these parts with an open circuit has to be replaced. - The part number for the heating element is AP3109438 - The part number for the thermal cut-off (including the hi limit thermostat) is AP3094224- The part number for the hi limit thermostat is AP2973862 - The part number for the cycling thermostat is AP3115922Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool dryer Model LE6800XSW0Gene.
