When I put it on the automatic dry cycle it will run and get slightly warm but it cuts off when it gets to the cool down cycle. If I put it on the timed dry cycle it won't get warm at all. Model # WED5100VQ Serial # MOD307014
I have older 7 cycle - 4 temp. Heavy Duty Whirlpool dryer. It takes 1 or 2 cycles to get my clothes dry. What could be the problem?

Either the heater element is breaking or is loose and getting only 110V instead of 240V. First I would check the wall outlet with a voltmeter for 240V between Line1 and Line2. Also check the connections and continuity for the heater element.

Could be 2 things... either your heat source is out of repair or your vent is blocked. Since you say it only gets warm I'll assume the problem is with the gas coils inside the unit. These parts are replaceable

The vent may be stopped up, or the vent hose crimped so the air cannot escape, you can check the air flow at the vent on the outside of the house while the dryer is running.
try cleaning the vent and the lint screen with a vacuum cleaner, you may need to replace the vent hose, this should solve the problem

Normally if you have an automatic cycle that turns off the dryer when the clothes
are dry, it will do it with a special thermostat or moisture-sensing
system. The thermostat tells the dryer to heat until the interior of the dryer reaches a "pre-set" temperature.
When the dryer reaches the pre-set temperature, the thermostat tells the timer to begin advancing. If there is a moisture sensor, the timer advances only if the moisture content of the clothing is low enough. The timer advances until the interior cools, then the termostat tells the timer to stop advancing, and tells the dryer to start heating again. This cycle continues until the clothes are dry. But... if the vent is clogged, the dryer may never reach the proper operating temperature, so it doesn't send the signal to the timer and the dryer continues to run indefinitely, even if the clothes are completely dry. To fix this problem, clean the vent and/or internal ductwork and make sure the vent is not compressed or kinked. If that doesn't work, then your thermostat, moisture sensor or timer could be the culprit.

I checked the timer and it read 0 ohms so the timer is good. What else could be the problem?

I have checked the thermal fuse and the 3 thermostats in back and I also checked the heating element and all of these have continuity. Anymore ideas?
I also checked the power cord for volts and it is receiving 240 volts and each side is receiving 120 volts.
You checked everything with the wires removed?
