Have you checked for 240 VAC at the wall outlet for the dryer? You also might want to check the power cord connection to the dryer.

The dryer runs and runs well, it just will not heat

The motor needs 120 VAC only while the heating element needs 240 VAC. If one of two power legs is missing (bad breaker, broken wire, loose connection etc) the dryer would run without heat.

P.S. I definitely read your first post and noticed that the dryer runs well.
