My dryer is not heating anymore. If I run the dryer and hold the door open, I can see the heating element getting hot, but as soon as it glows red hot, the heating elemant turns off and does not turn back on. The dryer continues to run fine, just with no heat. What part do you think it is that I need to repace?

Here are your parts Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL LER4634PQ0 29" Electric Dryer | AppliancePartsPros.comHere is your wiring diagram http://www.servicematters.com/docs/wiring/Wiring%20Sheet%20-%208528187.pdfYou have a very weird problem so it may be a pain to find. I would try 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. If the above does nothing Put the unit into an Auto cycle Does the timer advance? When in an auto mode, this unit's timer receives power through the heating coil when the heater is turned off This is checking to see if the heater has a break that opens when it heats up and does not re-connect till everything is back to room temperature. If the timer does not advance odds are that the heating coil is the culprit. |
