Hi vmalugin1129...

Here are a few things to check:
ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR DRYER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO ANY WORK ON IT.
Check to make sure you are getting full 220 Volt power to the dryer, if you are then:
Check your Wiring
Often the main wiring connection from the house, at the dryer, burns and the connection breaks. If this has happened to your dryer, you need to replace the power cord and the terminal block inside the dryer to which the wire is attached.
Check the Door Switch
If the door switch or the door-switch actuator is defective, the dryer won't work and you need to replace the failed component. The switch is inside the dryer main housing near the door frame. Sometimes you need to raise or open the top or front of the dryer to reach the switch. Check for continuity you should have none with door open, and should have a reading when closed. If not replace the door switch.
Check to make sure you heating problem is not a lint build up in the discharge hose or the dryer,as this condition can cause heater/thermistor problems such as overheating of the heating coil leading to failure of the coil and burnout of the thermostat/thermistor due to overheat.
Remove the back/or front just under the door of the machine and try to locate the air duct going from the blower to the drum. Normally inside/outside the air duct you will find the heating coil and the thermostats/thermistors. Once you have located the heating coil, remove the two wires from it and check the coil with an ohm meter across the two terminals of the coil.
You should read continuity across the terminals, if not you will need to replace the coil as it is faulty.
If the heating coil is ok, then:
You can check the thermostat/thermistor one at a time by removing the two wires and taping them together with electrical tape.
If the coil heats up then replace the thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse as it is faulty.
If you have an ohm meter then you can test the thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse,
then you do not have to tape the wires together as described above.
To test your thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuseremove the wires from the thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse and check for continuity, if you DO NOT have continuity then replace the thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse.
DO NOT LEAVE THE WIRES TAPED TOGETHER AFTER THE TEST AS THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE BECAUSE YOU HAVE REMOVED THE SAFETY.
Check your blower wheel to make sure it is secure to the shaft and not plugged with lint,socks,etc.
If the thermal fuse overheats the dryer will not operate. It's located on the blower housing. It cannot be reset. A vent clogged with lint can cause it to overheat. You can test it with an Ohm meter or continuity checker, if no continuity, replace it.
Right after replacing a dryer element, always run the dryer on 'air fluff' / 'no heat', and go outside to verify there's plenty of air coming out your vent system.
If the vent's clogged, that new element can burn out very quickly.

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly
Before I get into detail this manual will be a HUGE help if your going to perfrom a DIY repair:
http://applianceassistant.com/pdf/27gasElectricDryers.pdf

There are several things that can cause no heat:
1. The main circuit breaker. Push it to OFF hard and back to on then re-test the dryer for heat.
2. The power cord or the power cord connections. Check BOTH ends at the plug and at the terminal block for any signs of heated connections. The terminal block and terminal block kit are items 38 and 39 of the sears parts link below.
3. The cycling thermostat is open
http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Cycling-Thermostat/3387134/2893?modelNumber=110.69422801
4. The heating element:
http://www.repairclinic.com/Kenmore-Dryer-Model-110-69422801-ID-938477-Heating-Element-Parts
5. The timer item 3 below link:
http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Kenmore-Parts/Dryer-Parts/Model-11069422801/0582/0151200?pathTaken=&prst=0&shdMod=11069422801
6. The motor switch (not listed) but can be purchased for much less than the whole motor assembly that is item 14 of the link below.
7. High limit thermostat: Item 15 of this link: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Kenmore-Parts/Dryer-Parts/Model-11069422801/0582/0151200/K0812001/00003

Sears parts list:
http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Kenmore-Parts/Dryer-Parts/Model-11069422801/0582/0151200?pathTaken=&prst=0&shdMod=11069422801 (3 drawings)

I think you will find that one of the thermostats bad or a CB / power supply problem.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly

My dryer will not tumble when you push the button it lights up and the heat comes it won't start

Do you hear the motor running? If so, then it's likely the belt or motor coupling is broken, or has somehow come disconnected.

If the motor's not running, then it needs to be checked by a technician. But If you have a warranty, then just contact them to do the repair.

Dryer will not start whirlpool model #LER4634EQ2 SERIAL #MK0296464 TYPE#D433-ELE-2406028-FM54

It might be the fuse.3727d80.jpg Be sure you do a bit of cleaning before you replace the fuse or it might just blow again.a611954.jpgca0922b.jpg Look for lint. I looked up your model. I once did a write up about what goes wrong, how to get into the machine, a training manual and videos. HERE
