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.
