You probably need a new heating element. Fortunately, they aren't that expensive.

Check and make sure that the lint trap is clean. There are over temperature thermal trips at strategic points in the dryer. These are self resetting when the temperature inside the unit cools down. If you have a continuity tester or an ohm meter, unplug the dryer. Take the back off and look for the electric element. Remove one wire from the element terminal and see if there is continuity through the element. If there is no reading its time to buy a new one. If there is continuity leave the dryer all stripped apart and call an appliance repairman. Explain what you tested and found and would like to finish the job yourself. Get them to find the open circuit and tell them that you will close the machine up.
