Electric whirlpool dryer

Try cleaning all the vents inside the dryer all the way to the outside. Be sure and clean around the blower wheel lots of things get in where the blower is pencils nails everything. They will block the wheel so it can't turn. Also vacuum the lint out of the motor. Lint most likely the problem. Hope this helps.

See if you can spin the drum with little resistance or is it really hard to spin?

Check the motor capacitor,sometimes the capacitor could be faulty or the motor is faulty or check if the motor is receiving power,if it's receiving power try to replace the capacitor if the is any in the system,if still it's not working then the motor could be burnt.

Also check weather the timer is perfecty.

Check the dryer vent,some times they will get stopped up with lint causing the dryer to shut off on high temperature.

Most likely, the operating thermostat has failed, and the high limit thermostat turns off the dryer when it gets too hot. When it cools down, it will start again.

If the heating element is getting very hot that means there is no air flow across it. If the drum doesn't turn then the blower is not turning causing the element to get very hot. Could be drum belt, drum rollers, or motor.

What cuts off automatically? Stops heating , or the drum stops turning?

Please reply your findings and we can help you further.

It may be the element has gone bad. You can visibly check it to see if it is bad. Quite simply the wire will be burned in two. I assume your drum is turning o.k.

The timer is in charge of stopping the machine. The timer seems to be broken.

yes very possible timer but my guess on the times i seen the problem would be the heating element are the thermo fuse on the elemnt canister when the heater does not come on the timer will not move ck the heater and the fuses on the heater canister it will fix your problem
