Hi, If you have a gas dryer.
The most common problem with a gas and no heat is the ignitor going bad...

check the spark ignitor out for that lights up the burner to heat

Check the thermal fuse and thermostats first, then the ignitor and the valve coils are the next possibilities.

Is it gas or electric?

bad ignitor
or bad solonoids on your gas vale
check your lint filter
and exhaust outside to be clear of cloggs with good airflow while running

The most likely cause is a bad ignitor part number 279311. It has to glow to open the valve and ignite the gas. You should hear a loud click when you first start the dryer. That tells us there is voltage to the gas valve.

kenmore dryer 90 series is not heating

You probably have an open thermal fuse, the dryer will run in some cases and not heat, Just moving air across you clothes will dry them however it takes forever.

If you are electrical or mechanical replace the thermal fuse yourself if not call someone you trust, you can purchase thermal fuses on line from Sears.com just do a parts search for you specific dryer.
