Older Kenmore dryer not heating

I’ve already fixed the problem, but wanted to post in case anyone else had the same issue. The dryer was not heating (heating element did not come on).

The thermal cut-off tested bad (open) so I replaced it and the hi-limit thermostat (the two parts come together as a kit). I’m not sure if the parts were bad or something made it overheat. The venting is fine and I don’t see anything else wrong.

Anyway, it’s been running well for a while now.
