Hi, If you have a gas dryer.

There is a thermal shutoff on the heating assemly that will turn off the dryer heat. Also, we just experienced a fire in ours due to lint build up in the body of the dryer even though we vacuumed out the lint trap on a regular basis. To look in this area, you have to take the top off the dryer and then the front. You can look by pulling out the dryer outlet connection and a flashlight. Make sure to put it back in correctly though to avoid a fire.

i would take the plug panel off the back and make sure you are getting the full 220 volts on the terminal,, (it could be in the cord itsself), if that is not your issue, it might be your main board, since it is new i wouldn't tear into it because it will void the warranty

You will need to check the thermal fuses they are located inside the cabinet.you will have to remove the lid ny taking the screws out of the back then remove the four screws that hold the contol panel in place.
Then take out the screws that hold the front panel inplace,open the door and remove the two screws in the front and the panel will come off.
If you have a multi meter you will need to check the continuity on all the thermal fuses there is one on the blower housing it is black in color and two on the heating element can.Be sure to unplug the unit prior to checking the fuses.

sounds like the heating element has gone or the themal component has died. you can test it with a multimeter by setting it to ohms and putting it across the terminals of the heater and if you get a reading then it is not an open circuit after that test the thermal cutoff the same way if it has a reading then it is good but if it stays at 0 then it is no good
