Whirlpool Dryer, model LGR5636JQ0
Age: 8 years

Basic Problem: Timer does not advance, appears to be no heat. Drum does turn.

More Details:
Auto Dry / High Heat Cycle: Timer does not advance. No heat.
Timed Dry Cycle: Timer DOES advance. No heat
Fluff Air Cycle: Timer does not advance. This is a no heat cycle.
Auto Dry / Low Heat Cycle: Timer does not advance. No heat.

I'm going to follow the advice & steps I found in this post:
http://forum.appliancepartspros...3-no-heat-gas-dryer.html

But I'm wondering if anyone has other advice. I'm a beginner, but determined to do at least some basic troubleshooting / repair on my own. Thanks!

We tested the 5 different elements and I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on what we found. I THINK that based on this, I might need to replace the Thermal fuse and the cycling thermostat, but I'd like to know if I'm headed in the right path.

So, again, going from post: http://forum.appliancepartspros...gas-dryer.html#post12764

1) Thermal Fuse - reading was 55

2) Cycling Thermostat. Here's where we're a little confused. There are 4 wires connected to this thing. Let's call them North East South and West.
North and South have red wires
East and West have purple wires
We were unsure what combination we needed to test here, so we did it all:
North + West - reading was 003
North + East - reading was 1
North + South - reading was 0001
South + West - reading was 002
South + East - reading was 1
East + West - reading was 1

3) Ignitor - reading was 060

4) Flame Sensor - reading was 002

5) Gas Valve Flame Coils
The coil with 2 terminals - reading was 1292
The coil with 3 terminals across the left + middle - reading was 1397
The coil with 3 terminals across the left + right - reading was 567

Thanks again, for any help.
