Almost certainly a faulty heater element or a faulty overheat sensor that has tripped. HOWEVER!!
This machine is under a year old! It's still under warranty. If you mess with it you invalidate the warranty.

There should be a warranty helpline number inside the door housing on the chassis.

Whirlpool LTE6234DQ3 stacked washer-dryer

If your Whirlpool LTE6234DQ3 dryer is not drying clothes properly on the automatic/permanent press cycle, there are a few parts that may be causing the issue: Moisture Sensor: The dryer's moisture sensor detects the level of moisture in the clothes and adjusts the drying time accordingly. If the sensor is dirty or faulty, it may not be able to accurately detect the moisture level, resulting in clothes not drying properly. Try cleaning the sensor with a soft cloth and see if that resolves the issue. Thermostat: The dryer's thermostat regulates the temperature inside the drum. If the thermostat is faulty, it may not be able to regulate the temperature properly, leading to clothes not drying properly. A multimeter can be used to test the thermostat for continuity. Heating Element: The heating element is responsible for generating heat in the dryer. If the element is faulty, the dryer may not be able to generate enough heat to properly dry clothes. A multimeter can be used to test the heating element for continuity. Ventilation: Poor ventilation can also lead to clothes not drying properly. Make sure the dryer's venting system is clean and free of blockages. It is recommended to have a professional technician inspect and diagnose the issue if you are not comfortable with checking and replacing these parts yourself.

JLTDC01 Dryer not collecting water in the tank

ck your vent hose,there may be a block vent not allowing air to move around clothes , causeing long drying times.if vent hose is ran long way.more then 4ft say 15 or longer,it should be cleaned once a year or replaced.this in my opinion is the most main problem when having dryer issues.

My dryer takes 2 to 3 cycles to dry my clothes.

Check the following areas to combat this issue. in most cases, this will be a Venting issue.

1. Venting
Make sure the dryer vent hose, as well as the rest of the vent duct, is not clogged.

Unless regular maintenance is performed, chances are there is a lot of lint accumulated inside the dryer. This might affect the drying time and could be a fire hazard. Make sure to have your dryer cleaned regularly. Because this might involve taking most of the dryer apart, it is recommended to have a qualified appliance repairman perform this task.

2. Thermostat
There are a couple of cycling thermostats inside the dryer. If one of them breaks down, it might affect the dryer's performance. Replace the defective thermostat.

3. Heating element
A heating element might only be partially burned out, in which case it would still work but will take longer time to dry the clothes. Replace the element if found defective.

Dryer no longer has heat to dry clothes

The element gets brittle and breaks. The element is in the rear of the dryer under the dustcover.

Dryer not drying

look at the vent outside and see if it closing or even has a cover this allows cold air inside the dryer and cause it to take longer to dry

Clothes take longer to dry

The first thing to check on would be your ventillation. Check at the outside of the house to make sure you have a strong amount of airflow coming out of the vent. Should blow pretty hard. If not you need to get your vents cleaned and also make sure the duct behind the dryer is not crushed. Hope this helps. Dave www.washermd.com
