I live in Brazil, my gas dryer is labeled as Brastemp but it is a Whirlpool Gas Dryer (just like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b08iUTzpncc). It stopped working and thanks to your videos i discovered that the electric motor was burned. After changing it the dryer started to work again but now it is overheating. Do you think can be the cycling thermostat (CT)?
What have you tried so far?
I checked the CT for continuity at room temperature, it is ok, has continuity, but i do not have a way to heat the CT to test if it will open after the temperature limit.
