My dryer does not get hot anymore
The thermal cut-off located on the heater housing is likely blown. It blows if there's an issue with clogged ducts and/or faulty high-limit thermostat. These components including the cycling thermostat on the blower housing are wired in series with the heating element and power to the heating element is terminated if one of them, usually the thermal cut-off, cuts or blows open.

Troubleshooting Whirlpool and Whirlpool-Made Electric Dryers Running But Not Heating
Hello my 70 series kenemore is not getting warm
I would need a model number to better narrow the problem down for you.
If this is a gas dryer
Remove the lower panel. With the lower toe panel removed, start the dryer & watch the igniter. If the igniter glows & cuts off without lighting the gas this would usually indicate the gas valve coils are weak & will need to be replaced. For this type of repair be sure to disconnect the electrical power & turn off the gas to the dryer. If the timer is set in the auto dry cycle, it will not advance if the dryer is not heating. Once you repair the dryer, the timer should start advancing. It is possible that your old timer is good. If you need further assistance please resubmit your question.
If this is a electric dryer
The timer not advancing from 50 minutes in time dryer & the unit not heating are not related unless 1 leg of the 240 volt supply is lost. Diagnosing a problem like this will require using a volt/ohm meter. With the timer set to time dry you should be getting 240volts to the timer motor & 240volts to the heating element. In the wiring diagram provided L1 comes from the timer on R & goes through the thermal cutoff, oper thermostat & the hi-limit to provide 120volts to 1 leg of the heating element. The L2 leg goes through the motor switch to the other side of the heating element. This is how the element gets 240volts. The timer motor gets its voltage on BK from L1 & OR from L2; this is what advances the timer.
Kenmore dryer has no power. the electricity going
check the cord on the back of the dryer itself as sometimes
the power cord disconnects or burns at the dryer, if this is the
case, the wiring and the terminal block must be repaired or
replaced. Maybe the door switch also. Good Luck Tim

How to change time settings on a Kenmore series 600 electric dryer
Follow these simple steps:
- Turn on the dryer by pressing the "Power" or "Start" button.
- Use the "Time Dry" or "Timed Dry" button to select the desired drying time. Press it repeatedly to increase the time in one-minute increments or hold it down to scroll through the time options more quickly.
- Once you've set the desired drying time, press the "Start" button to begin the drying cycle with the new time settings.
My Kenmore just stopped while heating something... shows No power... any ideas?
Your Kenmore Dryer has a number of things that can cause this.
Most basic, the house breaker has tripped.
The timer or electronic mainboard has failed.
The element has failed
One of the 3 heat regulation devices has failed or tripped out, one resets itself, the thermal fuse has to be replaced.
'make model (what it is)' in all questions please.
