The temperature selector switch is used to select the temperature that you want you dryer to heat to. If this switch is bad then your dryer will not produce heat to dry the clothes.
The cycling thermostat

The timer
The timer is the brain of the dryer. There are many contacts inside of the timer that will close circuits according to the selected cycle.
Motor centrifugal switch
The motor centrifugal switch is an internal motor switch that closes its contacts when the motor runs to complete the heating circuit.
