Most warranties are under a year. You usually buy an extended warranty for 3 to 5 years for 75.00$ to 300.00$ Did you buy an extened warranty?

Here is a link to your parts breakdown
Whirlpool LER4634EQ2 Parts List

Put the dryer in timed dry mode.
Now does the timer advance?
If it does then the most probable cause is an open thermostat or an open heater element

Jose, let me help you out. I am a technician. Take the back off the dryer, and toy will see the heater housing. You will have 1 of two problems, either the heating element or the thermal fuse. The easiest way to check it is. Make sure the dryer is unplugged, and above the element on the heater housing is the thermal fuse. If you get a piece of wire about 6 inches long, and strip back both ends, and put 1 end of your jumper wire in one end of the terminals, and the other end in the other terminal, and then make sure they are not hitting any metal, and turn the dryer on to heat. If it heats, replace the thermal fuse. If not replace the heating element. If you need any further instruction, I can be reached at my web site at ApplianceEducator.com Tom
