You put your clothes in the dryer more than an hour ago and they are still not dry. You feel the inside of the drum and realize that there is no heat. There are several reasons why your Whirlpool dryer may not heat. On electric dryers the heating mechanism consists of the heating element, a thermostat and a thermal fuse. You will need to test all of these components to determine which part needs replacing. If you own a gas dryer you will need to test the ignitor and the high-limit thermostat.
