Could be a heating element, also be sure to check and make sure the exhaust isn’t blocked that can prevent any air from flowing in the first place.

I just had the same problem with my Kenmore. Bought about $50 in parts, none of them were right, so I got another dryer.

Your best bet is to call someone and don’t waste your time trying to trouble shoot it.
