It doesn't warm the air to a temperature high enough to dry clothes. What diagnostics approach do you recommend? What sequence of parts should be replaced? Some like it HOT TJ

Often what seems like a dryer problem is an air flow problem so try the below. Undo the dryer from the exhaust Run a load If the load dries correctly then you have a vent problem. Clean/check the vent system. Make sure the outside louvers open fully. If you do not want lint in the house. Take a pair of pantyhose, put one leg into the other and attach this to the dryer exhaust. Leave enough room behind the dryer so it can blow out like a windsock. Run a load. Both the above will allow you to check the air flow and temp. Also the above is NOT recommended for a gas dryer due to possible carbon monoxide problems.
