I also checked when it was running and it was getting 110 V. Everything else works fine. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

These dryers do not put out much heat. As you can see from the wiring diagram the heating coil is 1,400 watts. A 240 volt dryer usually has a coil that puts out around 4,500 watts. The thermostat looks like it is adjustable, you could try turning it to max. to get a little more heat. Part number: AP3097384
