My electric GE dryer doesn't seem to be using heat. It is around 17
years old as is the washer. What should I look for when I open up the
back?

Probably a bad heater element or thermoswitch. Or it could just be dirty.
Try taking it outside and blowing all the air passages out with
compressed air or a leaf blower.
