Dryer was not drying the clothes but running like normal

I realized from this issue years ago that it was porbably the heating element. I took the dryer to the garage and remove the back and figured out how to get the heating element out. Once I had it out it had a break in the coil so I knew I needed that part. I hit parts select on line and ordered the part. I left everything in the garage and waited for the part. In a couple of days it came and I put it in and took the dryer back to the laundy knook, gave it a test run and Its all good!
