Customer Questions and Answers for Dryer Heating Element by Whirlpool

Andy, The heater element WP3387747 / 3387747 is a very good possibility, Without a meter, you should probably check that next, you'll need to remove the element assembly and visually inspect the element wire for breaks and or large arc marks on the plate. Remove power to the dryer and then the lower access panel. Remove the hex-head screw from the heater shield and remove the shield. To remove the heater: Remove the two wires from the terminal block. Remove the hex-head screw from the heater housing, and slide the heater out of the duct. If you see no damage or issues with the element assembly, you'll need to get access to a multi meter TJMA-DM1 so you can test the thermostat, thermistor and wiring to determine where the issue is. It'll be less expensive and less frustrating if you do. Thanks,
