My Whirlpool electric dryer heats on high heat setting but not on medium. We cleaned the vents out, which were not clogged but still not working. What else can we check?

A model number would help.
Different units control the heat differently so a wiring diagram is required.

ok, I will get it tonight and post it tomorrow. someone told me it is probably the timer and if that is the case they are about $200 and would be better off to just buy a new dryer. do not really want to do that.

I do have the mod and ser #'s. DWSR483EB0WW DF712663A

Here are the parts
Replacement parts for General Electric DWSR483EB0WW Electric dryer | AppliancePartsPros.com

I was afraid it would be a GE as I cannot get a wiring diagram.
GE like to keep everything a secret.

Take a look inside your control console.
They like to store diagrams in there.
