If you get zero or infinite resistance, the unit is bad.You can check this by removing the thermostat from the dryer and checking the resistance on the two terminals that are located on the top of the thermostat.When it doesn't work, it's like having the heat set to high all the time. Are the lower heat settings feeling too hot? This points to a faulty Bias Heater which fools the thermostat into thinking that the dryer is hotter than it is.Here is more detailed information on testing your thermostats.If it goes more than 5% above this temperature, it's bad and should be replaced.You can look for a marking with an L followed by 3 numbers to tell you the temperature. Depending on your dryer, the thermostat should operate (break contact) between 135 and 165° F.Blow air at the thermostat toward the metal side, while holding the thermometer probe in the airflow right next to the thermostat.At room temperature, the thermostat should show continuity.They usually are located at the ends of the thermostat. Hold the thermostat in a clamp or vise so you can clip the meter leads to the switching terminals.If the dryer wont heat, it is unlikely that this thermostat is causing the issue, as the thermal fuse or thermal. Note: If your dryer does not heat, first check for a blown thermal fuse on the blower housing before replacing the heating element. You can test it by removing it from the dryer and using a digital probe thermometer and a hair dryer (or a hotplate with a digital temperature readout). Heating Element (240v) for Kenmore 110.63102101 Dryer. Are all the heat settings feeling too hot? This points to a sticky or failed thermostat that isn't opening when it should.If it fails, there are a number of things that can happen. This device controls the heat level in the dryer. If it doesn't heat up, then you know you are likely dealing with some other component.On a dryer with electronic controls, this can also point to a stuck relay on the control board.On an electric dryer this is frequently a grounded heating element.Does it heat up? If it does, you now know that you are dealing with a dryer that can't shut off its heat source.Next, try running your dryer on a setting that should not have heat, like Air Fluff or such.

There could be something obstructing the blower inside your dryer, like a piece of clothing or lint buildup that needs cleaning.

Look at the bottom of the linked section. Here are some ideas of how to check and deal with that.

Have you cleaned the area inside your dryer where the lint filter is installed? There can be clogs just past the lint filter in the housing.

Are your dryer exhaust ducts possibly plugged with lint or other things (leaves, bird nests, toys, acorns, etc.)? Have you cleaned them recently, or ever? Here's a link to duct cleaning info.

Here's a link to the filter cleaning process. Is your lint filter really clean? There is more to really cleaning a lint filter than just swiping off the lint.

The next one is pretty simple (or so it would seem).

Open the door to the dryer area and try running a load and see if that cures the problem.

If any of these things have changed, your dryer may be starved for air.

Did your door have a vent and now doesn't?.

Has something been done that would close that gap? A new door or floor covering that is thicker and narrows the gap can do it.

Usually the bottom of the door to a laundry room is trimmed to make sure there is an air gap, or there may even be a vent in it.

Is your dryer in a small room with little ventilation? If the dryer can't pull in air from elsewhere, it can't exhaust it to the outside, and the heat will build up.

Check your owner's manual for proper loading capacity.

Before you start looking at the dryer itself, is the dryer often very full of clothes or towels? It may just be a case of an overloaded unit impeding its own airflow.

We look at airflow issues first as they are common causes of overheating.
