Not knowing what the problem was I started looking at the coils and could not see any broken parts.
So then checked the thermal fuse for continuity I removed the two wires from it with a small pair of needle nose pliers, it was held in place by two screws, once they were removed the fuse came out easily, I checked continuity with a volt meter placing the meter on X1 Ohms and could not get a reading.
I replaced with a new one and put it all back together the way I took it apart.
Then I plugged it in and it worked first time, I now have warm dry clothes. Read more...

To remove the heating element there are two small nut-head screws. Remove the two electric wires. Then you can pull the heating element away.
You can check the heating element with an ohm-meter or visually inspect it to see if the heating element spiral wire is broken.
Don't hurry to dispose the old element. My model includes a small electric safety part. You'll need to transfer it to the new heating element (that comes without it)..
Good luck. Read more...

Simple DIY Whirlpool Dryer Fixes
If you are experiencing problems with your Whirlpool dryer, we are here to help. Most problems are easy to identify and simple to fix. These are some of the common Whirlpool dryer problems, and the parts that fix them!
Noisy Whirlpool Dryer – There are a lot of moving parts inside your dryer, so it is not uncommon for parts to start making loud or unusual noises as they wear down. First you will want to identify what the noise is; the most common are squeaking, thumping or banging, and grinding. The noise can tell you what part is causing the problem, most often it will be the drive belt and pulley, the drum glide, drum rollers and bearings, or the blower wheel.
Whirlpool Dryer Will Not Start – If your Whirlpool dryer will not turn on, it indicates a power failure. If that is what you are dealing with start by checking the power cord, outlet, breaker, and fuses that are linked to the dryer. If your dryer turns on but will not start, inspect the door switch, if it is faulty or obstructed it assumes the door is open and will not run. Once you’ve ruled that out you should look at the thermal fuse, start switch, timer, and thermostats.
Whirlpool Dryer Not Heating Properly – If your clothes are not drying properly your dryer might not be getting hot enough. The appliance needs high heat to work efficiently and complete its cycle. Inspecting a Whirlpool dryer that has no heat or not enough heat starts with looking for airflow issues. We recommend you start by checking and cleaning the exhaust vents and lint screen. If that is not the cause, it could be the heating element, thermal fuse, power cord, or one of the thermostats.
Whirlpool Dryer Will Not Tumble – If the drum in your Whirlpool dryer will not tumble or spin, the first thing to check is that it is not overloaded. If the load of laundry is too heavy the dryer may struggle to rotate the drum, which can lead to additional problems. If you have ruled that out, you will then want to check for a damaged or broken belt, or faulty motor.
