Check the coils, is there a broken turn of the spiral somewhere? That has been my luck with electric dryers, simple broken coil. But while you're in there, check all wires everywhere, to the sensors and limit switches, etc. Pictures won't hurt. Are you a good enough electrician to take the coil assembly out and test it?

Lately, lots of dud dryers in my neck of the woods have been caused by those cheap coin-sized thermostats that attach to the vents, manifolds etc. that regulate high heat limit and cool down periods. You might want to enlist someone with electrical skills with a voltage meter to see if any of them are defective. We happen to have a neighbor who is an electrician and he did this for a lot of us. They're usually cheap and easy to replace especially if you have a local "do it yourself" appliance parts store.
