Want dry no heat dry different settings been running for thirty minutes
Thermal cut out switch has probably tripped. Look for a small red button on the back, press this in, should then heat up. Hope this helps
ARE U SAYING IT WILL RUN IN DIFFERENT SETTINGS BUT ONLY FOR 30 MINUTES? IF SO U NEED TO CHECK OUT WITH A MULTIMETER UR THERMISTOR OR CYCLING THERMOSTAT USUALLY LOCATED ON THE BLOER FAN HOUSING, OTHER WISE IF IT HEATS UP THEN SHUTS DOWN U MAY HAVE A MOTOR GOING OUT AND THE WINDINGS ARE BAD HENCE IT RUNS THEN AFTER BOUT 30 MINUTES UR MACHINE STOPS ? NOT STOPS COOLING BUT STOPS ALTOGETHER
Your Thermal Fuse probably blew, get a Digital Volt Meter from Harbor Freight $5.00, locate the Thermal Fuse and check the OHM's to verify it s the fuse, replace it needed.
SOURCE: Dryer runs & heats but shuts off after 3-10 minutes
the motor overload can caouse that problem in that case new motor is needed if the dryer turn right back on after it turns off the even heat control board in panel bad if it humms are no noise after turn off and you have to let cool down the motor is the problem

I would like to thank the ones who responded to giving me a 'hand' in repairing my dryer. I did like you said & changed out the coils & now the dryer is working like it should.
Hi! pegbrook2
So, is this a gas dryer?
SOURCE: dryer heating element cycles on and off every minute or two
It is normal for the dryer heating circuits to cycle on and off. The heating element is not supposed to stay on continuously. What usually causes excessive dry times, and rapid cycling of the heating element is poor ventilation. The following link explains:

Pay particular attention to the paragraph that discusses proper ventilation and how to determine whether or not you have a clog. You could STILL have a malfunctioning hi-limit thermostat or operating thermostat, but I suggest you double the simple things first. It doesn't make since to replace parts if it may be a simple matter of general upkeep. Cleaning the lint trap in not enough to keep the dryer ducting clean. If you've never had your ducting inspected or cleaned, now may be a good time.
Perform the simple test of disconnecting the dryer vent hose and try drying a load. If the dryer performs better, you may have a clog in the vent line where it leaves the dryer to where it exits your home. If the drying results are still the same, inspect the internal air blower to make sure it is not clogged.
NOTE: It is also recommended that you use semi-rigid metal ducting. It is crush resistant, resists kinking & heat, and offers protection against rodent infestation.
I hope this advice leads you in the right direction. Let me know what you discover. If it is not a matter of ventilation, then read the steps on how to determine the whether or not the heating circuits are operating correctly. Let me know if you require additional assistance.

it should be in a housing mounted just inside the back panel. unlatch the housing from its mounts and the element slides out from the bottom
