UMMM, very very simple solution.
A fuse is blown. Assuming you have fuses and not breakers.
In the old style fuse panels, one phase provides the electricity to run the motor, the other phase provides the electricity to run the element.
A drier uses 2 fuses. One to the red wire, one to the black wire. It could simply be that one fuse (out of the two) has blown. The drier will still turn, but no juice for the heat.
Check the fuses.
If breakers, it could be one breaker is defective (of the two) is defective. Get a volt meter, put the neutral in the neutral side of the plug, then check the two hot sides.
You should read 120 volts on each side. If not, you have a defective breaker.
Sounds like the problem to me.
