Customer Questions and Answers for Dryer High-Limit Thermostat by Whirlpool

Hello Terry. It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly. If the vent is good, check and see if the high limit WP53-0771 open, and then does not close. If so, you will need to replace the high limit. Hope this helps.
