Bad thermo switch located behind back cover in area of duct work. 1/4"x2" white in color, two wires connected to it. Stops ignition from firing.
SOURCE: dryer still wont heat
you could remove and bench test the theromostat. my kenmore would not complete the circut to heat at all with a faulty thermostat. Just use a jumper wire to bypass it and test it THERE WILL BE NO SHUT OFF COULD HEAT UP TOO MUCH IF LEFT RUNNING.

The problem is more likely a thermal fuse or thermal cut out. Here is a video that walks you thru testing these http://appliancehelponline.com/gdryertroublevideo.html

Hi,
If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.
if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....
If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.
