My dryer manufactured by GE stopped heating, but it is still
continuous (the inside cylinder still cycling). I guess my dryer is old
because it is from my house's previous owner and I don't know how long
it stayed
Without knowledgable for sure that it is electric, my guess is the heating element is burned out. You can get a replacement and install it yourself if you can turn a screwdriver and are reasonably polished with hand tools.

I'm employed to dryers having a panel in the back that just slips off, but this thing has one giant panel across the pack and it looks like the sides have to on off before you can hinge it back.
Anybody know how to remove the back
You quite have to access everything from the top of that dryer. Had an old Westinghouse like that once. Had to remove top and front to remove tub...
