We have an Estate Whirlpool clothes dryer/Model #MY60-G which was purchased (I think sometime in 2002?). It spins, but after it is on for a little while the heat stops and the clothes never dry. We were told it is probably a relay switch and would like to know how to go about purchasing on to fix the dryer. Thank you for your cooperation, Carol Mosko

Whirlpools are great. There is a flame sensor near the igniter, it gets dusty and can't sense the flame. Carefully wipe it off, without bumping the igniter, it's super delicate. Sometimes the sensor can be removed for cleaning, just held in place by a little screw.
The operating thermostat has probably failed. When the dryer haets up, it gets too hot and the high limit thermostat turns the machine off. After it cools down, it will start, again.
HI, Check the following to address this issue further.
Note: Normal drying time for a dryer is about 45 minutes (some may take up to an hour).
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. These thermostats are located in the dryer vent duct and sometimes mounted on the blower assembly as well.
your manual states that it can be caused by cold rinses and or spin cycle not getting completed. please try to rinse in hot or warm and see if that does not solve your problem
If this is a GAS dryer, the common source of a "No Heat" problem is a failed igniter, or gas valve safety coils.
I hope this helps you. If you require addtional assistance, please post back with your make and model so I can make a more accurate diagnosis and/or identify any parts you may need.
