Once you have the part, unplug the dryer, remove the back panel, remove the connections and install the new one. Some heating elements may require you to remove the existing thermostat from the old heating element and install it on the new one. Reattach the back panel, reconnect power and run a test cycle to check for heat.
Another possible cause is clogged duct work. When was the last time you cleaned out the dryer vent anyway? No, not the lint screen -- the vent pipe. The obvious solution is to clean out the duct. It's not as bad as it may seem either. This should be done every six months to a year to not only keep your dryer running smoothly and efficiently, but also to prevent or reduce the risk of fire. It's a different story altogether when the dryer just won't get hot at all. Even when set to high heat, the clothes remain wet and cold.
A blown thermal fuse may be to blame. On newer dryers, a blown thermal fuse may prevent the dryer from running at all. This fuse is put in place to help prevent fires. Fuses can simply wear out on their own, but they're designed to short at higher-than-normal temperatures, which could be caused by a number of things. Look out for clogged ventilation, a clogged lint screen or an overloaded machine. To fix a blown fuse, you must replace it. To do that, you must first locate it.
It should be located near the exhaust duct, so you'll need to disconnect the power and remove the back panel. Unscrew the fuse and replace it with a new one.
You should be able to find a replacement fuse at your local hardware store or online.
