Hi
My Whirlpool Estate GAS
Hi
You are right, Thermal fuse is blown due to the clogs/blockage in the lint screen. When the dryer overheats due to blockage in the lint screen, the thermal fuse cuts off the heat to the dryer and as it cannot be reset so it should be replaced. You can also take the rear panel to test the Thermal fuse which is located on the blower wheel housing. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.
if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....
If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.

How do I get at the valve coil when the dryer does
Ok, this dryer actually does have a front service panel, the entire front to be precise.
You will need to remove your lint screen first.
Now remove the two phillips head screws located at the lint screen inlet.
Next while standing in front of the dryer place a hand on the back of the control panel and pull the panel towards you. The entire top of the dryer should slide forward slightly and as it does use your fingertips to lift the top on the side you are pulling on at the front of the top where it meets the front panel. Now switch to the other side and repeat this until the entire front edge of the top is loose from the front panel.
Now lift the front of the top up and allow it to swing up like the hood on a car, let it lean against the wall.
Inside the front of the dryer you will see two screws that hold the top of the front panel to the sides of the unit. Remove these two screws and allow the top of the front panel to come forward slightly so that the felt support for the front of the drum is exposed on the top of the door opening. You may have to push the top of the drum towards the rear of the dryer.
Now pull up on first one side of the front panel and then the other side to disengage the lower portion of the front from the clips on the face of the side panels (they are like little hooks the front panel slips onto).
Once the front panel is loose you can usually swing it 90 degrees out to provide the access you need to your gas valve located in the bottom of the dryer (without disconnecting the door switch.
The drum should remain stationary as it will suspend on the two rear drum rollers while you work.
The gas valve coils are held to the gas valve by one steel cover plate that has two phillips head screws holding it to the valve.
Remove cover plate and wire connections, replace coils and reverse these instructions for re-assembly.
Good luck to you!

No Heat. Burner shuts down after a minute or so.
You will find a limiter usually on top of the burner with two wires going to it thast needs to be replaced. to check it jump the wires and start the dryer be sure to tape the wires to b prevent a short, Thats almost always i. also check the two coils on the burner ussualy the first burner.

Will only heat a little, not enough to dry
Some dryers have more than one heater. You could have one of two heaters failed.
Another possible cause is a faulty thermostat that does not allow the heater to reach full operating temperature. Most dryers have more than one thermostat.
A lack of air flow can also cause poor drying. Lint can build up inside the machine as well as in the exterior vent.

I have a LGR4634EQ1 dryer and it all of a sudden
Check to see if it's getting gas firstly.
Then open it up and start it. Do you see anything lighting up or sparking? Do you hear any gas? If you don't see any light or spark then your igniter probably needs to be replaced. If you don't hear gas, the problem may be the gas valve. If you don't hear or see either you either have a problem with your controls or the power coming into the dryer. Check your fuse/breaker box if so.
