Dryer turns but there is no heat

Did you pull the element out and test it? I think it is your heating element. Visually inspecting is never enough. Just hook it up to high voltage independently to ensure it heats. It will turn red hot.

the thermo cut out or element is burnt out

Does the dryer have a moisture sensor? if it does that may be the problem.

The most common causes are the belt breaking or jumping off, or the motor going bad...

Check temperature sensor.  Check to see if heating element is OK.

most likely if the dryer does everything except heat up the heating element is bad if you take it apart it will be directly behind the holes inside the dryer

Most times I replace the coil assy. on gas control valve. OR could be the sensor.Or both.
