I noticed that the knob does not move it stays at the same point I set it on when I initially turn it on. I have an electric dryer by Whirlpool it is the Estate Series. Please give me some assistance and some direction to tell me at least what should be my starting point towards repairing my dryer?

If yes then the following. Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times, sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker. If this does nothing, check 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 terminal strip in the machine to make sure none are loose or burned out If OK Check the power at the terminal strip. Be careful as 240 volts is lethal !!! If it does advance in timed dry then odds are that your heating coil is burned out. In auto modes the timer motor gets power through the heating coil when the coil is shut off. In timed dry mode it gets power directly from the line. See Timer Switch 0 in the wiring diagram.

I realize that you will not have the same heating effect, but I do not have 220 volts to the area of installation. Some heat is better than none.... Thanks
