Defective Thermostat

The thermostats are responsible for maintaining the proper temperature in the dryer. Check the exhaust temperature of the dyer and if the temperature is above 150 degrees, you will most likely need to change the operating thermostat.

The thermostat can also fail in the opposite mode.  It can prevent the element from heating at all. A failed continuity check at room temperature will verify this condition.

There are some special thermostats that are single pole double throw.  These thermostats are often used to control the timer when set to the Automatic Dry cycle.  If the dryer timer will advance in the Timed Dry cycle but not the Automatic Dry cycle, then the thermostat could be the problem.

I have replaced High Limit Thermostat, Thermal Fuse, and Heating Element and still no heat. Is there any thing else that I may need to change out. Thanks
