Have you tried to open up the back to check if your heating element was still intact. depending on the age of your dryer this is most likely your problem. UNPLUG YOUR DRYER, then MAKE SURE IT'S UNPLUGGED, then open the back, if neccessary by taking off the screws, then CHECK AGAIN TO BE SURE YOU UNPLUGGED THE DRYER, if your heating element is anything like mine you must remove a screw by lifting the top, the thing the lid is attached to. Once you have your heating element in your hand and removed from the metel casing, check it with a ohm meter to make sure it has continuity. (You are trying to make sure your coil has not broken anywhere in between the starting connection or the ending connection). If your element is ok then kindly do everything in reverse. If it's not ok, then look online to find a local shop that sells your particular heating element. They start from $20 and up. If you do not have a coil as an heating element or you have a newer dryer, then disregard everything you just read.
