Dryer Repair

According to the user manual "troubleshooting" If the dryer turns on but does not heat - try replacing the circuit breaker. Well I did that and it still does not heat up. Can anyone tellme what part I need to replace?

Thanks

You will need either a new element or thermostats, if you have an ohm meter remove the wires from each thermostat and the element( I recommend one set at a time) for continuity. That will tell you which part isn't working. If you don't have an ohm meter, borrow one or remove the parts and take them into a local repair shop for testing.
