my 80 series dryer runs but does not heat. at first, restarting would correct the problem and we could get heat again. gradually that didnt work and now we have no heat at all. What should I replace?

Hello what is the model number?
110 70812990
Thank you. On this model there is two common issues. Remove the back panel there is a thermal fuse it is a slim white fuse with two blue wires going to it this fuse should have continuity if not replace it if it does then the igniter is the next most common thing.
If the fuse has continuity, how do I check the igniter? Do I just replace it? Is it hard to replace?
The igniter should have continuity as well. No its simple there is two screws that hold it on.

I just removed back of dryer. the small white component with two wires has a red and a blue, not two blue wires. It does have continuity. there is a small round disc looking component, held by two screws that has four wires going to it -- two purple and two red. is this the igniter?? how do I check continutity (which leads)?
No that one with four wires is the cycling thermostat. The igniter is located inside the dryer. Here is a link that shows how to take the unit apart click here
