yes i have a kenmore dryer that i bought out of a classified add
model number 110.86870100
i reset the breaker and made sure it was on heat not air but it still wont work i checked to see if there was any air flow coming out of the vent there is though i dont know how much air should be comming out i am thinking the heating element might be out but i dont want to check in side the dryer cause it was sitting in side someones storage unit for a few years and we have brown recluse spiders here i already killed 2 since my week here in GA what should i do that wont risk me getting bit and wont cost me alot of money
If its been sitting outdoors for a period of time, more than likely the electrical connections have corroded or not making good connections or a mouse could have chewed throug a wire . To correct problem, you are going to have to open unit up. If you cannot to this, you will have to call for service

it hasn't been sitting out side but you do have a good point
I'd bet that the heating element is gone on it rather than those other things. My folks have a rental house business and would pick appliances off the curb and see what was wrong with them.
Sometimes nothing wrong other than remodeling to a different color. Tenants move out and leave their appliances as well. Go figure.
I was the grateful beneficiary of a nice Kenmore electrical dryer that the heating element had burnt out on. I think it cost around $6 for the element from Sears at that time. Point is, the heating element is pretty accessible on the back of the dryer so not hard to check and pretty easy to replace yourself with normal and typical household tools.
Do a Google search for the schematic for your dryer.
