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 AP3115922

Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool dryer Model LE6800XSW0
