I just replaced the fuses and thermostat and heating element in my Kenmore dryer but when I turn it on the back starts to turn red and it starts smoking ? Could wires just be crossed

That is more indicative of a fan failure. The element is supposed to get hot, but the fan blows the heat through the clothes and cools the element at the same time.

How do I tell how old my kenmore dryer is?

What exactly is this 'loud noise'? Is it a constant grinding or rumble sound that changes with drum speed or is is an occasional thumping, banging noise as the drum speeds up or slows down? A grinding or rumble is often a drum bearing and Thumping is commonly the 'suspension' the drum rides in to stop it 'walking across the room or shaking itself to pieces as it goes into high spin speeds. Your machine's age will only affect you if it is a very old machine and parts are difficult to find.

Model number 41781142000 s#xd12206332

Start with the heating element. You won’t need a wiring diagram for that and it’s the most likely problem with the dryer. Watch a YouTube video on how to install.

Why does my dryer vent smell like gas outside my house?

It is a gas appliance and as such should only be worked on by a qualified, registered gas technician. Call in a professional please. The gas to air mix is wrong. Techs use 'sniffers' to correct these days. You also have some sort of ignition or sensing problem. Your fixing method of 'let's try replacing this', never works and is expensive.

Any idea why my dryer is shutting off after a short time?

Sounds like the motor is going into thermal overload and shutting down. If you here a Buzzing noise when you start dryer motors bad. If after you start the dryer wait and stop it after 10 min and then try and restart it if it buzzes and rattles bad motor.

My Kenmore 110.66962501 dryer doesn't stay on after pressing Start

It is most likely a blown thermal fuse located on the blower housing next to the heating element caused by restricted exhaust vent on the drier. Check the vent and clean it out if plugged up it will not stay running.
