ELECTRIC Dryer no heat or little heat, or shuts down to fast:
Check your venting and lint basket. Check blower for lint build up and blower wheel obstruction., test by trying to turn the wheel manually by hand (should be easy) May have to remove cabinet or front/back plate to get to it)
Next check the heating element itself with a meter for continuity OHMS CLOSED CIRCUIT. If not its defective or has a short if its grounding out? Which in turns causes blown fuses or thermostats or overheating.
Check dryer Terminal block prongs both outside prongs should give combined 220, and 110 each if u check 1 outside & 1 center (ground) prong. Also check house electrical outlet for full voltage. 220 because if u only get half or 110 volts you will be able to run the machine which uses only 110 to run motor but not the heater which uses a full 220,
Check the thermal cut off, the cycling and the hi limit thermostats.
For continuity or OHMS. If no ohms or resistance they need replacement.
In some dryer's the control panel relies on a thermistor rather than a CYCLING thermostat to regulate the drum's air temperature by monitoring the component's resistance changes; resistance goes down as temperature increases and up when temperature decreases. Once the drum's air temperature reaches a certain level required to dry clothes, the control panel shuts off the heater. The panel will turn the heater on again and begin another heating cycle when the thermistor indicates that more heat is needed to keep the air temperature constant inside the drum
Lastly check your moister sensor. ( located inside the dryer door usually) Especially if machine seems to shut down early and clothes are still wet.
Test with a meter at room temperature and it should show continuity.
A failed moisture sensor will affect the dryer run time in the automatic moisture sensing cycle but it will not affect the heating of the dryer or the timed cycle. Which are reflected by the thermostats.

Do you have a voltage meter read from the new plug you put on from the wire on the right to the wire on the far left you should read around 220 from each one to the middle one you should get 110. If you are only getting 110 the dryer will run but not heat it takes 220 to heat the element if you do not get 220 flip your breaker off then on to reset it and test again good luck

I would try to run the dryer by putting your finger on the door switch and turning on your dryer.This will let your dryer run,you will notice the drum start to turn,be very careful not to put your hands near the drum while it is turning.As it turns do you notice a red glow at the back of the drum?
This is your element starting to get hot so it can dry your clothes.If you do not see a red glow this would mean that your element is possibly burnt out. Yuo will need to replace it to get heat out of the dryer.

You may have blown a thermal fuse. There should be a wiring diagram inside the top part of the dryer where the controls are. Unplug it and find the diagram. Find the thermal fuse(s) and check it(them) for continuity. If any are open, replace it(them). Also, clean out the machine and the duct leading from it, as thermal fuses most often blow when lint is clogging things up.
