What's this?

Our clothes dryer may have bit the dust. Tumbled and tumbled yesterday,


but no heat.

Heating element or thermal fuse? Have any of you done this repair before? I've very much NOT handy, but I'm not incompetent on easy stuff. Is this easy stuff?

The dryer in question is a Kenmore Elite, and is 12 to 13 years old at this point. It's run great, til now. Based on parts websites, it appears to be OEM Whirlpool.
