I have a Whirlpool Electric Dryer, model # LEB6000PQ0.
The dryer does not seem to dry the clothes much at all.
I have removed the lint from all components (internal & external) as well as the vent from the back of the dryer to the outside.
I notice when the dryer first starts, the heating element turns on for about 1 or 2 minutes then shuts off. The tumbler and blower continue to run, but the heat never turns back on after the initial shut-off.
Could it be a thermostat or some other sensor that has gone bad, thus prohibiting the heating element to turn back on?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to have to resort to a costly service call... I'm pretty certain I could replace the part(s) myself if I just knew where to start.
Thanks in advance for your help!
