Gene,
My Whirlpool dryer runs,but won't heat.I have checked the heating elements(coils),don't see a break in them.I also checked to see if the venting is clogged,no problem there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Allan

Go for the digital multi-meter.
They are much nicer to use.

How do you get to that part to check the condition?

Unplug the dryer and remove the back panel. You should then see the thermal fuse right on the blower housing. Make sure to remove one wire from the fuse before testing.

Whirlpool gas dryer LGQ9557KQ0 heats on start up but flame does not come back on after.
I cleared the lint housing, checked the orifice . . . appeared fine.
I was checking the parts illustration and saw the internal thermostat bias AP3045874, the T-stat-hi-limit AP3084674, and I read the threads on checking the thermal fuse AP3132867. I'm trying to diagnose or troubleshoot. Would the thermal fuse do that and what do the other 2 items affect?
I just measured continuity across my thermal fuse . . . eliminate that as a possiblity.
Thanks,
Mark

Make sure you check each (potential) electrical fuse, thermostat, heating coil for continuity. You'll need a multimeter to do this. (Radio Shack -$29). I found a $11 thermostat bad. This did the trick. Give this a try. Make sure the dryer is unplugged when you check for continuity.
