I bought this dryer new a little over 3 years ago, but over the last 5 months it has starting taking more than one cycle (timed) to dry. I started splitting loads in half and that worked until two nights ago it stopped heating all together. I took the cover off the back checked the terminal for 220v with a voltmeter at the block and all is good there. I went to the thermal fuse and checked it for continuity and it is good as well. My next supsect is the heating element and the high limit thermostat and since they are in the same general area I was just going to replace both. Any ideas or thoughts on this? It seems like a pretty easy fix (I know enough to shut the power off and unplug it). Any help would be appreciated....thanks.

i can see the drum glides are totally worn, the felt is old and no longer goes all the way around the front drum bearing and two spots on the front drum bearing are so worn that the glides are completely gone and i don't think new ones would even fit into the slots due to the wear.
seems obvious that i need the felt, glides and front drum bearing. anyone disagree?
lastly i removed the rear drum bearing and it doen't look to bad - how do i know if that must be replaced too?
i assume these are the repacement parts:
Front drum bearing - AP3790641
Dryer drum slide (2) - AP2041815
Slide, drum (2) - AP631382
Felt - AP4319934
if necessary: Bearing kit - AP2619300

Age: 8 years

Basic Problem: Timer does not advance, appears to be no heat. Drum does turn.

More Details:
Auto Dry / High Heat Cycle: Timer does not advance. No heat.
Timed Dry Cycle: Timer DOES advance. No heat
Fluff Air Cycle: Timer does not advance. This is a no heat cycle.
Auto Dry / Low Heat Cycle: Timer does not advance. No heat.

I'm going to follow the advice & steps I found in this post:
http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/...gas-dryer.html

But I'm wondering if anyone has other advice. I'm a beginner, but determined to do at least some basic troubleshooting / repair on my own.

I am able to completely dry a load by utilizing the "timed cycle" feature - it will complete the full time.

I took the front panel off, cleaned out any lint there (wasn't much), and cleaned out the exhaust tube as well as replaced the hose going to the outside.

My only guess is that maybe the "dampness detector" is faulty.
