Whirlpool Dryer LER4634JQ1 is not heating, the drum turns, but there is no heat. I have tested both the termostat and the fuse both read 0.00 on the Ohm meter. What else can cause this problem?

Always first unplug the dryer from the wall outlet and then ohm test the thermal fuse, then disconnect the flame sensor and ohm test that, its located on the side of the burner tube. Remember no continuity going through it means it bad. Also, clean all the lent out of the dryer this should be done on a regular basis. I attached a website that has videos that will help you find the parts. I Hope this helps Tim

Your timer most likely does need to be replaced. The timer has a small motor that causes it to rotate during the cycle and those can go bad causing the timer to not advance. Unfortunately, you cannot get just that timer motor anymore. Hope this helps!

If the dryer won't heat but does run, it is more likely to be the gas ignitor assembly, assuming there is gas available to the dryer. If the thermal fuse was bad, the dryer wouldn't start at all.

Short answer if the dryer drum still runs, but there is no heat: 90% it's one or both of the heating coils. 10% it's the control switch or relay.
If the dryer will still start and the drum will still turn, find instructions for how to test the heating coils. The test for the coils must be done with the dryer UNPLUGGED! It will involve taking a panel off the dryer.

most likely a thermostat that has failed, I'm having same problem and am just now learning how to test. research " testing dryer thermostats and fuses online"

So,. basically your drum doesnt turn. SO your getting heat still even though the drum isnt turning. Is this right? Sounds strange??? Do you hear any humming noise when you push the start button? I need to know a little more about the problem because im kinda confused as how you decribed the problem. Iv never seen a dryer heat but the drum not spinning. especially your model dryer. Its electric heat right? because if the drum doesnt spin, maybe your motor is bad. and if your motor is bad, then your heating element wont heat up because the centrifical switch in the motor is not switching to complete the circuit to the heating element. So this is why im confused when you said" Dryer heats when knob turned but when "push button" pressed, drum doesnt run." Because your belt wraps around the motor pully and the motor is what makes the drum turn. Like i said, i never seen this model dryer heat with out the motor operating. So if you can give me some more info, ill do my best to help you out....Thanks!!!!

Good Afternoon,
Is this dryer Electric or Gas?

Probably is no reset button on/in the dryer. Go here for more info on no heat in the dryer: Dryer Repair Help

open the case as described elsewhere in 'replace belt' questions, I get tired of typeing, and examine the fan body and exhaust ducts for a thermal fuse
looks like


or


one shot device to cutoff current for over temp
If there is no conductivity through the device (remove 1 wire to isolate test with ohmeter)
replacements are ~$15 each, common to most dryers the local appliance part store will have them
or your local service guy can do it, I take ~15 minutes, and charge $35 plus parts, sorry not an offer, I am likely 100 miles away
Before you put the dryer back together
clean all lint from fan impeller fan housing and exhast duct, right to house outside wall, most common cause for blown thermal fuse
