I'm not sure if my heating element is bad or one of the fuses is bad. Can I tell if the heating element is bad without buying anything or having a service guy come out?
The part number is 53-1641. It comes with a high limit and is around $50. You must pop the top on this unit and you will finnd the element in the rear of the dryer. A simple and easy fix.

How much is a heating element for the crosley dryer cde6500w series?
It appears you have a Electric dryer (220V)So, if you feel any heat at all after its been on for say 2 minutes than your element is fine.Your problem is most likely the air thats leaving the dryer is being blocked.If you want to be 100% sure its not a vent problem than do this..run the dryer for ONE load on timed dry cycle (60 minutes)without the vent hose attached and you'll know in 60 minutes if its ok.This is the easiest way to help you.If you can ,place a nylon sticking around the vent hose for this one time so it doesnt blow dust around.I'll be happy to guide you through this.

most common cause is burn out of the thermal cut-out. These are a small screw on device on the exhaust duct, when exhaust air reaches too high a temperature, like a blockage, they fail before a fire.
Clean the exhaust ducts all the way to the outside wall, lots of vent hoods block over time. then examin the exhaust duct for devices that look like this 
or like this 
with wires connected to the terminals. there may be 2(hi lo), test with a flashlilight bulb or ohmmeter conductivity good, no conductivity replace.
there are only a few different kinds the local parts guy will have them all. take the dud one for him to match.
