About the High Limit Thermostat
The high-limit thermostat monitors the dryer temperature and shuts off the element or dryer when overheating is detected. If the high-limit thermostat is malfunctioning, it may shut off the dryer even if it's not overheating. You can test the thermostat for continuity by using a multimeter. If the thermostat does not have continuity, replace it.
