Hi Simon, we can't guarantee this would fix your symptoms but this is the most likely part. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!

Hello Larry, thank you for your question. The most likely issue is either the Thermostat, Internal-Bias Part Number: WP3387134, Thermal Cut-Off Kit Part Number: 279816 or the element itself. We would recommend testing the thermostats first to determine if they are faulty. Testing the thermosats is a very easy process. The wires leading to the thermostat are connected using metal slip on connectors. Remove the wires by pulling on the connectors, and not the wires themselves. It may be a good idea to use a pair of needle nosed pliers to help you. Set your multimeter to the R X 1 setting. Take each of your meter's probes and touch one to each terminal. You are testing for continuity, and you should receive a reading of either zero or infinity. At room temperature, testing the thermostat should produce a reading of zero. But if a thermostat is tested when it is heated to its limit, a reading of infinity should be produced. We strongly recommend that you test your thermostat at room temperature. If that isn't the issue you would want to replace the element. I hope this helps!

Hello Steve, thank you for your question. The timer is a potential cause of this issue, but the more common part that causes this is the internal bias thermostat. We would recommend testing all the thermostats in the unit to check for continuity, but the most common cause of the dryer not shutting of automatically is the Thermostat, Internal-Bias Part Number: WP3387134. I would also recommend testing Thermal Fuse Part Number: WP3392519. I hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for writing. The single most common reason why clothes dryer randomly heats and stops heating is restricted airflow. When there's a blockage in the internal ductwork, the hot air will become trapped inside the drum where it creates a potential fire hazard. and tells the thermostats to shut the heat down With the dryer turned on, go to the outside of your house where the duct exhaust vents to see if you have any airflow. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.
