Kenmore Dryer Runs But Does Not Heat

My Kenmore Dryer, Model #96284100, was manufactured for Sears. The dryer runs but does not heat. The door panel indicates there are two fuses in the main panel. How do I disassemble the dryer to check/replaces the two fuses?

Remove 2 screws in the lint screen section. Remove the screws on the back panel. YOu will see 2 thermostats and a thermal limit. Disconnect a wire from each and test for countinuity. If none, replace, they are bad. Check the heating element the same way. DISCONNECT THE POWER FIRST FOR SAFTEY.Another cause for non heating is a clogged vent hose. Check it from where it exits the dryer to where it exits the house
