Heats up but turns off
Most likely you have a control board problem. All those issuse point to the only thing that effects all those parts/functions of the dryer. This is about a $100 part. Call Sears parts and get a quote or go to http://www.searspartsdirect.com. Labor to replace will be in the $80-120 price range unless you bring it to a repair shop which could be cheaper.

Doesnt dry clothes, every opening i have
Hi, I experienced the same problem with my Maytag electric dryer. I finally fixed the problem after I checked the actual vent pipe (which allows air to discharge to the outside of your home). What I found was quite surprising. I found was a mouse nesyt in this pipe. Once I removed the mouse next,m my electric dryer worked fine. Just a thought. Good Luck!
How to locate heating coil
it located upstream from the exhaust pipe or lint pipe on back of dryer. in most cases you must remove top of dryer housing then front panel then remove the belt from motor on the underside and finaly remove the drum or tumbler. after these steps you should have access to the heating element which generaly is located inside thesame metal casing that you attach the dryer hose or pipe to as earlier described . hope this was helpfull.
Will not start
Open the door and wiggle the door switch. It should click. If it does not then that could be the problem. If the lid switch is audible then next thing to do is yank out the fliter and look for lint. Remove the vent pipe and look for lint. If you notice a lot of it the dryer may have over heated. Remove the power and take the rear dust cover off. You will find the fuse on the blower housing right next to the control thermostat. It is white skinny with the screw and 2 small wires. In the same circit as the door switch it kills the power going to the motor IF the lint inside the blower housing/filter chute obstructs the aitflow to the point that the temp inside is over 350f. Just simply swapping out the blown fuse won't get it fixed. You must remove the filter chute and clean it out as seen in this pictorial:
