Luckily, I worked for 35 years as a service technician for Whirlpool so maybe I can help you out! # Your lint screen could be clogged # Your vent could be clogged or sagging in spots which will cause steam to turn back into water

# Your timer could be bad or a wire may have burnt( CALL A REPUTABLE REPAIRMAN FOR THIS) # One of your thermostats could be bad. Your high temp thermo cutout could have sensed a faulty in heating (this is located in the back of the drum) # The igniter coil could be burnt out.( this is located on the burner itself in the front base of the dryer )

# The belt could be broke or lost tension and many other quirky things that only a trained technician can safely diagnose

# You could get a repair book from a parts house to be sure you know what the problem is, because parts houses don't take back parts.
