Kenmore heavy duty 60 series soft heat large capacity dryer
Turns on. No heat ever comes out. Doesn't turn off once you start it. It just puts out air

Hi mwenzel and welcome, I really can't tell you much without a model number, but I would start by checking for 240volts at the back of the dryer, then start checking thermo fuse and therostats for continuity along with the heat coil. Good luck and let us know how the test goes.

It sounds like you have a problem with the timer, but also if it was dirty it could have blown the hi-limit thermostat. You will need a meter to check it out and you will have to tear it down and clean it. Here are some manuals: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8010163/Kenmore%20Dryer%20Manuals.zip

I some how missed this, Dr.Tom is right, does sound like a timer issue. Good luck
