Here are your parts.
First try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times. Sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker and the heating coil requires the full 240 volts. If this does nothing. Measure 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 unit's terminal strip to ensure they are properly connected and none of them have burned off If OK Plug the unit in and check the voltage at the terminal strip. This is just in case you have a bad line cord. Be careful 240 volts is lethal. If OK Unplug the unit and check the heating coil and thermostats etc. for continuity. Heating coil, should be 15 ohms approximately. Thermostats and thermal fuse all should be 0 ohms.
Be sure to disconnect one side of and device you are measuring this prevents reading an alternate/parallel circuit path. Also use your most sensitive ohms scale. There is a good Sticky at the beginning of this forum on meter usage.

My dryer is over 30 years old. Last week, it runs but there is no heat coming in. What might that be?
