I have a Kenmore 110.64642400 that has just started acting up.
It spins fine, using the timed dry function the timer knob advances (although not in the auto dry function), but it never heats up.
I've read that it could be the heating element, thermostat or timer. I already checked the breakers (not blown, switched on and off for good measure).
I've got the back panel off, but I'm at a loss as to what to check for next. How do I go about looking at one of these 3 potential issues to find the solution? (This thread didn't help me decipher what steps to take)

Some dryers have an in line thermal protection device that can go bad. Trace the wires to the element, or better yet refer to a wiring diagram. You would need an ohm meter to check for continuitiy.
