So my dryer does not get hot AND it will not shut off. It will just keep running until you turn it off or unplug it. Everything else works fine. Any ideas?

Hello 5spd07gt

That seems to indicate that most probably the timer is not running (and presently in the not-heating blowing-only sequence).
A faulty thermostat or faulty heating element would cause the timer to time out after it's normal running period.

Remove all power from the machine, make a drawing of the wiring of the timer, disconnect and remove the timer unit, and have it checked in the nearest service shop.

Success!

It turned out to be the breaker, it runs off two 40amps and 1 of them was tripped
