Dryer is heating when set on med. heat but will not heat on high heat setting.
What part do I need to replace?

Well you are looking at the temp selector switch, or the operating thermostat. If you get into the back of the control panel, you can use an ohm meter to verify the switch is reading continuity in each of the selection positions. The thermostat is behind the rear panel and just above the vent outlet. It should ready continuity between both red wires and about 6k ohms between the two violet wires. If any contacts on the switch ready open, replace the switch. If the thermostat doesn't ready as I stated above, replace it. Easy fixes.

Thanks for the advise. It was the temperature switch. I replaced it and the dryer heats up on all settings.
