I have a may tag that suddenly stopped heating one day. Also I already tried replacing the thermostat down by the heater element with no avail. Any other ideas or things that are likely to fail besides the element itself?

Here are your parts
Parts for Maytag LDE412 Dryer - AppliancePartsPros.com

First thing to check is the power.
Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times. Sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker.
Check the voltage at the plug
L1 to L2 should be 240 volts
L1 to Neutral and L2 to Neutral, both should be 120 volts.
If OK
Unplug the unit and check the wires at the terminal strip in the machine to make sure none are loose or burned out
If OK
Check the power at the terminal strip.
Do this with the heater off and on.
