I have a Kenmore dryer that is not heating and I do not know what I should check or where. I think it could be the heating element but I'm not sure. Any help would be great.

tsimon194-#!-the dryer will run on 110volts and it takes 220volts ac in order for the heating elements to do their job ;;so lets go to the electrical panel box , if you have breakers in the panel you should have a doubl breaker[double 30]now find the right one for the dryer and push the breaker toward the off position and then all the way back to the on position , go to the dryer and see if you have hot air when in the [on][position} {#2}if you don't have a {volt ohm meter you will have to go to lowe's or home depot,they run just a little below $15.00 ,[ get one that you will be able to check up to 220 volts ac}{now that you have a ohm meter}lets get started;(#3)check all the lint screens for blocked and the vent damper out side the wall make sure it is clean and the flappers work real easy{- hope}- you brought your supper, because this is going to be almost like a book , with your new meter {set the meter to 220 volts ac< pull the dryer out from the wall and check the dryer receptical to see if you got 220 volts comeing to the receptical,[#4-] since you do have the 220up to there{ #5}
pull the dryer out from the wall disconnect the power cord, remove the back panel fromk the dryer, {#^]- now i am going on the persumation that the dryer turns the drum but you just don't have {no heat}right? :> #6}-here is a list of the probale causes #6a-no power at wall outlet:#6b-cl:ogged lint screen:: {#6c-faulty thermostate switch::#6d-defective -timer}:{ #6e}-}a faulty overheat protector}[#6f]-defective heating coil[#6g]-defective centrifugal switch};;;.
