    My whirlpool dryer won't get hot
    I know this question was asked before but I can seem to figure out how to get this done, I have a whirlpool dryer that runs but will not get hot LER463JQ1- D433-ELE-2406028-FM54 120/240v (I copied all of this off the dryer) please help me I can't afford a service repair because not under warranty. But not old at all I can't image what is wrong. Thanks

    The wiring diagram should be on the unit. Look at the diagram, there may be a resettable limit switch or there is also a thermal fuse.

    Since the problem is electrical, I believe you will need a multimeter to troubleshoot.

    Heating element and/or thermal fuses could be bad. So, the first check is to see if the element gets power. Check for 240 VAC across the element.

    If it gets, power then remove one terminal and check the resistance of the element.
