Two thermostats were replaced, 8182470 & 8182477, heating element works,lint vent is clear, breakers weren't tripped. It heats up, but it just won't dry.

Hi.

Disconnect the vent from the dryer and run it for one load with towels or jeans. See if that makes any difference.
If not - disassemble the dryer and clean the blower and filter housings.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Whirlpool LEW0050PQ0 COMPACT ELECTRIC DRYER | AppliancePartsPros.com

Thank you. Post the results.

Simon.

Hi Simon,

Ran a load of towels, but that didn't do the trick so will tackle the blower and filter housings over the weekend. Now there's another issue, what might cause a thunking sound, like shoes, when spinning counter clockwise.

Thanks,
Tia
