On that model, it is most likely the element or the thermal fuse. If you take the back off, and on the right you will see the heater housing. On top of the heater housing is the thermal fuse, and beloow, you will see the two terminals for the element. If you have a meter, you can ohm them out. Make sure that you take the wires off the components when you ohm, them. If you do not have a meter, I would take the two wires off the thermal fuse, and get a jumper wire, and jump them out, and then plug in the dryer. If it heats, replace the thermal fuse. If it does not, replace the element. I can be reached at my website ar ApplianceEducator.com Tom
