That model number doesn't come up on parts site,open the door,look around the opening where you put the clothes into dryer and you'll see a tag with the model number,usually if the dryer hasn't been cleaned out and the vent line also hasn't been done the high limit or thermal fuse will pop as a safety because the dryer is running to hot from the air not blowing out.all a dryer does is move air,if there's a block in the vent line,outside at the hood where the air blows out like if there's a cage or screen that lint can get trapped in or in where you pull the lint filter out then the one of the t-stats will pop and are non resetable.also make sure you have 240 volts going to the dryer,you can check that behind the dryer where the plug connects to the dryer with a meter,if there is 240 volts unplug the dryer,remove the bottom panel,pull out the lint screen then remove the screws that hold the metal duct that the filter slides down into,on the right top of the blower wheel ousing you'll see the thermal fuse you have to remove at least one of the wires to check it with a meter,set the meter to ohms say 20k,touch the leads together and you should see anything but 1 on the meter,when you stop touching the leads you should see the 1,now put one lead on one side and the other lead on the other post on the thermal fuse,if you read 1 the part is bad or open,if you get anything else but the 1 the part is good or closed.if that's good,move to the right to the heater,pull one of the red wires off of the heater and read it the same way,if that reads good most likely you'll have an open high limit t-stat on the left back of the heater can.these are the things to check,also if you don't clean out the dryer and vent line the new part will pop again,i use a leaf blower to blow out the vent line,it works great,just remove the vent line from the back of dryer,stick the leaf blower in it and blow all the lint to the outside,with a shop vac you can vac up all the lint inside the dryer cabinet,then set the vac to blow and blow all the lint off the motor and from the back of dryer to the front and vac it up,heep doing this until clean and clean out the metal duct that the filter slides into,do this every year and your clothes will dry on time,you'll save energy and money,your parts will last longer and most of all no dryer fires.good luck,if you need anymore help let me know.

Poor drying problems with dryers generally are attributed to clogged ducting. You have probably heard this before, but the first (and least expensive) fix for any dryer with long dry times is to check the air movement. As well know, dryers require good air flow to ensure proper drying. Now, when you said the air movement is strong, were you checking it at the air vent exhaust outside, or were you checking on the back of the dryer? An easy way to tell if there's a clog in the ducting, or a clog in the dryer is to run one load with the dryer vent disconnected from the back of the machine. Only run one load like this. Not a good idea to blow hot moist air into an enclosed area of your home over a period of time because it can cause mildew problems. If the dryer blows freely and your clothes dry faster, you know you need to check the ducting from where it connects to the wall to where it ends at the exhaust vent. Often it is not enough to just clean the lint trap and the outside vent. You need to check what's in between them as well. Mice and birds are notorious for building nests in dryer vents and clogging them up. Now...if the dryer is blowing poorly at the exhaust port on the back of the dryer, you will need to remove the door kick panel under the door and remove the vent duct housing to get to the blower fan. Make sure you unplug the dryer before attempting this. There are live voltages present even with the dryer turned off. Lint can get trapped in vent housing and restrict the movement of the fan, which, in turn, will cause poor air movement and longer dry times. Last of all, take a temperature reading at the exhaust port on the back of the dryer. A good temperature reading is roughly 140 degrees F. If the temperature is too low, you may have an operating thermostat or high limit thermostat malfunctioning. Check your vent ducting, first and let me know if you need further assistance. I hope this helps you.

check the ignitor under the door panel on the left side of the burner if it gets red when you turn the dryer on.if yes than see if gas shoots out and yes than how long it stays on if in few minutes it turns off than need thermal fuse checked so let me know up to this point if it works or not .

Make sure that your vent tube is not kinked or crushed behind the dryer and it all this is ok then you need to change your cycling thermostat. is it gas or electric

check the thermal fuse if it is blown also change the high limit thermal cut-off fuse www.repairclinic.com shows your parts. go there and enter model number. Also check the heat element. to get into it remove the lint filter and the two screws you'll see there then pry the top up at the front corners. And through the back you should find the heat element and blower housing and thermal fuse and high limit fuse and cycling thermostat.

Check the following to address this issue.
1. No power to the dryer
Make sure there's power getting to the dryer. Check for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses. An electric dryer uses two circuit breakers or fuses, and if only one of two is tripped or blown, the dryer might still run but not heat. Sometimes the power cord disconnects or burns at the dryer, if this is the case, the wiring and the terminal block must be repaired or replaced.
2. Heating element
A burned out heating element will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Replace the element if found defective.
3. Thermal fuse
Most dryers have a thermal fuse, which burns out when the dryer overheats, in which case the dryer will either not run at all or stop heating. The fuse is usually located on the vent duct, inside the dryer. A blown fuse will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Before replacing the fuse, make sure the blower wheel is not broken or clogged, and there is nothing blocking the venting.
