Hello Felicia, I found model number "CDE"4205AYJ instead of "CED"4205AYJ so you may want to re-check before ordering parts. There is more than one part that can keep a dryer from heating, such as a thermal fuse WP33001762, hi-limit thermostat WP303396, the heating element WP307178, even a broken wire or restricted venting.
