    First, make sure the breaker that supplies the dryer did not trip. If it did, reset it and test the dryer again. If it trips again, the first thing I would check is the heating element to make sure that it has not weakened and stretched over time and is now contacting metal that it should not be touching.

    Knowing that the dryer failed to dry a load on clothes properly suggest a sagging heat element.
