Hi Bill,

You have to have a simple meter to perform the troubleshooting. You may want to start with checking the voltage at the dryer wall outlet. The normal readings suppose to be: 120 VAC between each hot wire and the neutral and 240 VAC between the hot wires. If one of the "legs" is missing, the motor would still run while the heating element needs 240 VAC. Post the results.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5152359

Here is the Tech sheet.
