Whirlpool Dryer (FixYa Tip) that works

Great detailed directions on disassembling the LG Dryers on You-Tube. Much more helpful and accurate than a narrative from me.
Also, you can run the dryer with it partially disassembled to observe what is happening and to troubleshoot the problem.

Very likely you have a "overheat thermostat switch" that has failed, or has sensed the need for you to dismantle the machine and clean it.
Your dryer has from 3 to 6 overheat switches in the back and or bottom of the machine, and they are there to prevent fire.
If you choose to fix it yourself, you will need some tools and a electrical testing meter, and an e-mail to "fixya" could get you to receive step-by-step instructions on the procedure.
Be blessed.
