Dryer thermal fuse. Opens at approximately 196°F (91°C). *If open check for air flow issues like plugged exhaust vent or damaged blower wheel

Dryer electric heating element assembly

Dryer heating element assembly. If the dryer does not heat the thermal fuse should be checked before replacing the heating element. Normally, the element will have a break in the coil if defective.

Dryer drum support roller. If the dryer is making a rumbling or knocking noise the rollers may be worn out causing the drum not to turn smoothly.

Dryer idler pulley assembly. Includes bracket and pulley wheel

Dryer drum drive belt, 93 1/2 inches long, 4 ribs 3 grooves. The drive belt is a very long, slender belt that wraps all the way around the dryer drum, around a tension pulley, and then around the drive motor pulley. If the drum will not turn when the dryer is turned on the belt is likely broken.

Dryer gas burner valve solenoid set. If the dryer does not heat or heats intermittently the coils could be defective. To test, watch the burner and if the igniter glows for a while and then shuts off without the gas igniting, it usually means one of these coils is bad.

Dryer door switch assembly. If the dryer does not start then the door switch could be defective. This switch also replaces the two wire switch.

The drum support roller kit, 349241T. If the dryer is making a rumbling or knocking noise the rollers may be worn out causing the drum not to turn smoothly.

The Whirlpool Dryer Cycling Thermostat WP3387134, rated at L155-25, regulates the temperature within your dryer. Signs that the thermostat needs replacement include inconsistent drying temperatures or the dryer running excessively hot. The WP3387134 is compatible with various dryer models.

Dryer high-limit thermostat, L250-80, with terminal extension arm. This thermostat should be closed for continuity at room temperature and opens at around 250 degrees Fahrenheit. If the dryer won't heat, the high-limit thermostat might be defective.

Dryer drum drive motor with pulley

Dryer thermistor. This thermistor should read approximately 11.9K Ohms of resistance at 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21’ Celsius). If the thermistor is defective, it may prolong or shorten the drying time or cause a fault code. A defective thermistor is not responsible for a dryer not heating.
