No heat in electric 3 cycle front load dryer
With this issue I have seen heater wiring issues or the heater element itself. The unit would need to be opened up to find the fault. Be sure to unplug the dryer before attempting any repair!
Why is
dryer is not getting hot enough
not getting hot or hot enough? if not hot at all it's probably the thermal fuse is blown, if not hot enough you could have a blockage in the blower vent system, which could be from the blower wheel in the dryer to where it vents out of your house. if no blockage then it's probably one of 2 cycling thermostats

My crosley dryer not heating up model. Ced126sxq1
You have not share the year of the dryer, but they are pretty simple, so perhaps this will help.
Take the machine apart so you can get a multi-meter or a ohm-meter inside the back to check circuitry.
Check for electricity from the plug to the terminals inside the back of the machine.
Check the plug for 2 live 110 volt circuits, with 1 ground.
Look at all the electrical connections for the heat element and the various thermostats and perhaps the fuse.
Undo the wires for each, one at a time, and check for continuity at each.
If one of the overheat thermostats has failed, especially check for lint build-up inside the machine in the metal tube between the filter screen and the exhaust pipe at the back.
God bless your efforts.
Dryer not heating
Yes, you probably need a new heating element as you did not list this as being replaced or checked.
