My dryer takes at least 2 cycles to dry a normal size load that was washed and spun by the same model washer. The heating element heats, the drum tumbles and the clothes eventually do become dry but it takes 2 - 3 times as long to dry and this is with the automatic sensor. On the timed dry it takes 2 hours to dry a normal sized load.
If it is heating up than really consider cleaning the exhaust duct as above stated. Heat only evaporates circulation dries sooooo if heat is going in and no air circulation Means you are steaming your clothes NOT dryingIf it is heating up than really consider cleaning the exhaust duct as above stated.

Two options:
1- Heating element is dead.
2. Thermostat is faulty. this unit is normally located on the inner surface of the drum and can be easily accessed after removing the rear cover. It is normally installed in a rubber housing.
make sure that all the seals are ok, door,front and back drum seal, blower housing seal(inside dryer). also consider that depending on washer type if you overload or have a worn drive belt in washer it will take twice the time to dry. also make sure that the dryer drum tumble. open door,press door switch and start dryer to see if drum turn. lastly disconnect vent pipe behind dryer and dry a load. if it dry ok then you have a partial blockage. you can also have a weak heating element.
your heating element or the thermostats that control the heating element could be bad. research no heat for your make of dryer, it should show how to ohm the thermostats and element for fault. They should all read 000 when ohmed. 000 being a complete circuit. I have been having thermal fuse problems with my whirlpool dryer, so I'm learning as I go.
not familar with the code but usually wash has a built in thermo stop to wait for water to heat to correct temp,if it works normally in a rince cycle and spins out and finishes properly i would look at heat element or stat,hope this helps
Check your rear exhaust vent for blockage.
Your dryer has 2 heating elements.
If it gets warm at all at least one element is broken.
The operating thermostat could also be bad.
Burned/broken wire at heater terminal.
Unplug the dryer.
Remove the front panel, then the belt and drum and inspect the heater and thermostats.
on top of the drum there is a metal dryer box. the heating element is connected by 2 wires.
it maybe that a build up of lint has tripped your thermal wire out or the thermistor,(you will have to test the continuity).
This is due to the condener working on the dryer, it is perfectly normal however you should not open without putting through cooling off stage otherwise you may cause damage to the machine.
