Russ is correct. http://appliancequickfix.com/ can tell you just how your dryer works.

I would not use this dryer again until a service man can come out and take a look. It sounds as if you have a short in the system. It is possible that it could catch fire. The bright orange glow is where the short is, in all probability.
Get it checked before you use it again. It could catch the clothes on fire.

This is an electrical problem which needs to be investigated by a qualified electrician. Unplug the machine and do not use it until it is repaired; there is risk of a fire.

the centrifugal switch on the motor is shorted, it is supposed to close to allow power to your heating element when the motor is running

You have a dead short somewhere. Fire hazard. Have it checked !!
