Dryer Repair

I also am having trouble with a dryer not heating. After resetting the thermal overload it will work for about a week and then not heat again. The dryer runs, just no heat. Checked continuity of sensors and all read within parameters. Heater elements read within specs and are clean and free of debris. The relays on the control board have dark areas on them where the contacts are but as they all are this way assume it to be normal.
Thanks for any response..
I also noticed that none of the threads for this issue were ever completed. Is there an unresolved issue with this particular unit??
Model #WTA35100US (Stackable Washer\Dryer unit)

It happens most likely because of overheating due to insufficient air flow. The first thing I would do is clean the vent line all the way through the vent outlet.
