If you are sure the vent is clear, the heating element may be bad.
You need to check the entire vent run all the way to the outside vent hood; there may be a lint plug somewhere along it. Make sure the flapper in the vent hood is free to move.
If the heating element (generally is a set of coiled heating wires similar to a space heater) is bad you will see a break or open somewhere along it. Take it in to Sears and sweet-talk them into testing the element for free.
There is also a ceramic resistor and a bit of circuit board to control the heater. Many libraries have books on dryer repair
