I have a dryer made by whirlpool that was new in 1984. We bought it used a while ago. It takes 4 cycles to get a medium load dry. The element glows and the dryer heats. However, the element when we ran a cycle while checking the airflow, the element would glow for a few seconds and then kick off. I'm not sure if it's supposed to do that and I sound stupid right now or not. I searched online and the whirlpool site for solutions. I was directed to a site for parts. The site said it was the high-limit thermostat causing the issue. I would like to be sure that is the problem before I spend more money on this dryer. Any help would be appreciated. I've cleaned the dryer 3 times. This includes the house vent, the vent hose, and every inch of the inside of the dryer. Also took the Element out to check for breaks.
