yea I heard they were pretty easy to fix but I dont want to messed it up even more, Im just glad its the dryer and not the washer, but its a pretty old model Kenmore, it would be very appricated if you can do something buddy and we can work something out

well i live prolly to far away but if you have a multi meter pull the back off and u will see the heat element on the right and set your multi meter to ohms and check the wires continuity to the element and should be a small sensor right above on the element you check if there good....if they are good ....... there is two wires i think one is purple going to a while oval piece in the bottom left if no good you can wire those two together and should heat back up i will see if i can find a diagram for it or something similar .. or you can also google it ....
