If it's going all the way through the cycle and not throwing up an error code then it's likely to be a problem with the pcb.
Very remote chance of a faulty NTC.
Parts are not cheap for these appliances, may be prudent to get Whirlpool in. Problem with the pcb could just be software corruption and Whirlpool engineers carry a handheld device to rewrite the software.
To be honest, accurate remote diagnosis on this one is near impossible.

Sorry I can't be more definite for you.
If the heater was faulty it should give an error code of the start light flashing 3 times. I've never come across a faulty heater and no error code.
Faulty NTC should flash once ever second, have come across a faulty NTC and no error code twice. Several times have rewritten software to pcb and cured problem. Also have had to replace numerous pcbs due to same problem.
Might be worth having a look at the pcb first, see if there's any burning on it. Might narrow the search for the problem that way.

Without looking up your machine I think your pcb is in the door.
Label the plugs and the plastic case where they go (or number them) as the pcb is in a plastic case which needs to be removed.
There are two circular shaped clips that hold the unit in place. Lift these slightly (without breaking them) and slide the unit out. Remove the pcb from the case and see if there's any burning. You might get lucky and find that you can repair the board by resoldering.
Be very careful, once the panels are opened up the edges are like razor blades.
