Customer Questions and Answers for Thermostat Heater by Whirlpool

Hello Dillan, and thank you for your question. Due to the thermostat heater being a high resistance heater used to open the thermostat sooner to create a lower operating heat, the thermostat heater is not going to measure continuity and should not stop the dryer from heating. If the thermostats have continuity and the heater is not damaged, the failure could be a lack of voltage to the dryer, a failed timer WP3389865, or a failed motor 279827.
