I turn the dryer on and it works just fine, but for the act that there is no heat to dry the clothes. FYI - I changed the belt yesterday. May I have done something to prevent the dryer from heating up?
Check the wiring first. If that looks ok unplug dryer from wall then remove the heating element and test it for continuity. If it is wide open then it is bad.

First...just as a reminder that electricity can kill! Unplug the dryer and slide it out so you can get to the back of the dryer. Remove the back panel. Plug the dryer back in and observe the dryer in operation. If the belt is broken you have your obvious answer. If nothing happens then UNPLUG the dryer again and reach in and remove the belt from the motor. Plug the dryer back in and attempt to run it again. Does the motor spin? If not, dead motor. It is not the thermal fuse because you say it heats up. Take a look at this video for additional help.
I have a Kenmore dryer and it runs but won't heat up and dry the clothes. I don't hear the ignition even turn over. Please help. I can't afford to buy a new dryer at this time.
There is a humidity sensor which acts as an auto cutoff switch in most driers, as your load auto dries , it senses the change in humidty and kicks the power off. It is often shaped like a flying saucer with wire terminals on the wings. That is likely your culprit, generally located close to the element. Based on your description, I would start there. Also test a load on timed dry, but it sounds like that's your problem. Remember to unplug before looking under the hood. Post back if you need further info
