Jim. whirlpool dryer not heating replaced the heating element because it was broken and still its not heating. The motor must be running for the centrifugal switch to close and allow the power to flow in the heater circuit. I found thermal fuse Good , Coil has Continuity, Replaced fuse and Thermostat on Heating Element as fuse was open with test .

The timer is probably O.K. You can use a multi-meter and check the continuity of the element. I have a dryer plugged into an outlet and it will only spin and not heat. The resistance at 70 degrees should read approximately 11.9 kilo-ohm, and at 80 degrees it should read 9.2 kilo-ohms. The easiest way to know you are getting 220 volts to your Whirlpool Electric dryer is with a volt meter. Jim. Kim, In your case, the switch has malfunctioned and has cut the power to the heating element even though the motor is running. When I get back into the machine the high limit cutoff is tripped in the sense that it tests open when I use a multimeter. Salute!

Whirlpool duet dryer everything works but no heat. And ideas ? It is possible for high amp draw in the circuit to cause the fuse to blow. The exhaust was disconnected throughout the troubleshooting. Your symptoms point to bad tub bearings. It may be time to have an electrician look for the problem with the circuit if the cord checks out O.K. On some breakers it is possible to “trip” one of the breakers or one side of the double breaker without “tripping” the other side. Just replaced the Thermal fuse on my front load dual whirlpool dryer still no heat? What a great resource!

I put a new fuse in again and left the vent house unattached and in the troublshooting mode went through the airflow testing which resulted in “normal” air flow. That does not mean there is no high voltage present, it just means there is zero difference in the voltage on either side of the component. Place a thermometer in the exhaust duct to verify the dryer turning the element off at different temperatures. If the element is in good condition then wait until the dryer is malfunctioning and then read the voltage across each component in the circuit (with the element) while the dryer is running. You state the air flow leaving the vent is not strong at all when you check it outside. An electric dryer will not heat when there is only 110 volts present at the outlet. I am told the issue is insufficient drying as clothes are always damp after the fixed 60-min cycle, on high. If “more dry-less dry” is the selection, the problem is most likely in the heater circuit.
