test the drying element to see if power is getting there during the drying cycle. if it is getting power but not heating you will know to replace the element. if it is not getting power, you will have to check the components that supply power to the element
Clean off the two metal bar inside the drum, near the lint filter. (these are the moisture sensors, which can become coated with fabric softener sheet residue, preventing the dryer from "seeing" that the clothes are still wet)
There is a little sensor that tells the dryer when to heat and when not to heat. that sensor is bad. If you take the back of the dryer off you will see it. It is about the size of a half dollar and has 2 wires that plug into it. While you have it apart make sure that the dryer vent on the back of the dryer is not plugged with lint. Major cause for fires in dryers.
self help is right .first i would try a load with out the ducting.if you have good air flow and still didn't dry[because now youv'e elimanated the house venting as a possiable.replace your coils
You have a classic air flow obstruction. To prove this phenomenon, remove the vent from the back of the dryer and try drying a load. If issue is resolved, then you must rectify the vent issue. Also, an internal air obstruction is less likely to be the cause, but not knowing how long this installation has been unmaintained, this too should be investigated.

Having a vertical vent that runs up inside a wall or in the attic is one of the worst set ups you can provide for a dryer. This could very well be the cause of your problem. Rule of thumb: the SHORTER and STRAIGHTER the ducting, the better. Anywhere there is a bend, sag or kink in the vent tubing it presents a potential spot for lint to accumulate. With vertical runs, gravity eventually wins and lint will start fill up in the vent line and starve the dryer for air. What is happening to your dryer is that it is actually overheating because it is not ventilating properly. If allowed to run in its current condition, the dryer will eventually fail. The thermal cut-out and/or heating element will not take this condition for very long (not to mention you run a good possibly of creating a FIRE HAZARD). I would strongly recommend cleaning the entire vent line from where it leaves the back of the dryer to where it exits your home. I would then consider rerouting it if possible. If in doubt, a simple test to determine if the problem is your dryer, or the ventilation is to remove the vent line from the back of the dyer and run one load. If the air leaving the dryer is forceful and warm, clothes dry properly and the dryer does not get real hot, you have a vent line problem. If the air is weak, cold and clothes still take a long time to dry, the problem is inside the dryer (probably a clogged blower fan assembly). Post back if you have any further questions/concerns. I hope this helps you find the source of your problem.
your dyer stat has gone you can see this when you take the lid off make sure you unplug the machine its normaly the white one it has two wires the other one is black that's the clod one leave that only take out the white one and go down to your appliance shop and ask them for one take down the model of your machine first onece replaced job done
