Unplug unit pull it out remove vent hose and vacuum. Remove all screws from back plate (you will need torx bits) except at power cover plate. Pull away the back cover and on the bottom rh side beside exhaust there is a small black box with a small red button on it press and you should hear a click. Put back together and test unit.

Just coming from a basic perspective, please test the powe outlets that your dryer uses with other devices so that you ensure that the power source isn't at fault. Thank you.
do you have 3 terminals to the heating element,if so check the neutral terminal,if this terminal breaks from heat stress the element can't function,not all have 3 terminals,if only 2 terminals then make absolutely sure theres 240 volts across these terminals,if not it will not heat,if you have some jumper leads of the correct size,bypass all thermostats,cycling switches and the thermal fuse just to make sure they metered out as good,also just to be sure check the terminal block where the power enters the unit for any high resistance or burned connections,if theres a hi resistance it will show 240 volts on a meter,but you won't get enough current thru the connection to properly heat the element,also flip the breaker on and off as these can be spookey at times too
Try replacing the high limit switches if the element is fine. The limit switches will not allow power to the heat strips if they are blown. They are the little silver buttons on the heat strip. There are usually two wires connected to them one coming from the controls and one from the heat strip itself

with a blind diagnosis, i would say in my experianc ewsith this model, its your heating element
pretty eay reapir
but finding bosh parts is the hard part
call www.appliancepartspros.com
they do carry bosh parts but you will need the exact model number
heaters usually run around 60-90 dollars
1. No power to the dryer Make sure there's power getting to the dryer. Check for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses. An electric dryer uses two circuit breakers or fuses, and if only one of two is tripped or blown, the dryer might still run but not heat. Sometimes the power cord disconnects or burns at the dryer, if this is the case, the wiring and the terminal block must be repaired or replaced.
2. Heating element A burned out heating element will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Replace the element if found defective.
3. Thermal fuse Most dryers have a thermal fuse, which burns out when the dryer overheats, in which case the dryer will either not run at all or stop heating. The fuse is usually located on the vent duct, inside the dryer. A blown fuse will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Before replacing the fuse, make sure the blower wheel is not broken or clogged, and there is nothing blocking the venting.
is it 220 volt dryer,if so check the plug at the wall and make sure you have 220,the plug runs off 2 circuit breakers at your electric panel,1 breaker may be no good so your only getting 110 volts to the dryer which will run the dryer but not the heating element
Check with multi-meter for power on the heating element's tags. If it does get power, you should replace the heating element. In case of no power- you should replace the thermostat.
Good luck!
