The breaker won't reset? Or the dryer? If it.s the breaker, it is protecting you from a short circuit and a possible electric shock. Are you sure you want to try to fix this without a professional?
SOURCE: Dryer won't work, Check Filter light is on
I had exactly the same problem with my newish LG dryer. I deduced that the dryer's computer essentially needed to be rebooted. I pulled the plug for a minute or so, then plugged it back in. It works perfectly now.

If one of the two thermal fuses are blown you will not get heat. Thermal fuses blow (and are not resetable, they must be replaced) when the machine gets too hot. Often this is caused by not enough air flow through the machine. Check and make sure your exhaust vent is not clogged. Clean it the best you can to get all the lint, dead mice, bird nests, etc. out. Also make sure air is blowing out of the machine when it is turned on. If not you have a blower problem.

i got the same problem and no repair man could help . i think i just got mine fixed 6-15-09 .what you do is go behind the dryer , remove the air duct and then remove the pipe that is inside the machine by removing one screw . this will give you access inside the machine .first clean as much as you can of the lint inside by vacuuming it . if you look to the left you will see 2 wires with a black button in the middle this is the ignitor ,clean it good because i think the dirt is not allowing it to light up . i did that and mine is working but the cooling light is still on .

You might need to check the exhaust on the rear of the Dryer, or the blower motor iether one has lint inside, restricting the air flow
SOURCE: Check filter light keeps blinking.
You have a restricted exhaust vent in the house. You will need a vent cleaning professional to resolve this issue. Good luck
How It Works: Electric Dryer
Air Flow Problem
The most common problem when a dryer is slow
is when the vent is clogged. If the dryer is slow, check the vent from
the back of the dryer to the outside of the house. If that is clogged,
clear it completely and test the dryer. If the dryer is slow after the
vent is cleaned, clean the internal ductwork of the dryer. This will
require some disassembly.
Blower Wheel
Item # 686172
In Stock
The blower wheel draws air through the dryer
and pushes the air out the vent. If the dryer won't stop, the blower
wheel may not be spinning properly, which reduces the air flow. Check to
see if the blower wheel is securely fastened to the drive motor shaft.

The heating element assembly warms the air
before the air enters the dryer drum. If the dryer won't stop, it may be
because the heating element assembly isn't working - which greatly
increases the drying time. Check the heating element for continuity.
