Gas Dryer just stopped running in the middle of a cycle

it maybe but here is a website that shows how to test them, it may be a loose or broken wire, a reset button on the motor, or other things:

• Get on with replacing the gas valve coils shown to you in the previous link, it will take care of your problem.
• There are two house circuits/fuses in an electric dryer's circuit.
  If one of them is tripped/blown, the drum may turn, but the heater will not operate. Reset the circuit breaker or replace the house fuse.
• Outlet wired incorrectly.
  Have a qualified electrician verify that the supply voltage is correct.
• Gas supply valve to a gas dryer is not open.
  Open the gas supply valve. See Installation Instructions for details.
• LP gas supply tank is empty or there has been a utility interruption of natural gas.
  Refill or replace the LP tank. Call your natural gas utility company.
• Dryer does not have enough air supply to support the gas burner.
  The dryer needs space around it for proper ventilation. Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the dryer. See Installation Instructions for details about installing a dryer in a closet or alcove.
• Incorrect cycle or temperature has been selected.
  If the Air Fluff cycle or temperature is selected, the dryer will tumble without heat. Each cycle ends with a Cool Down period during which the load tumbles without heat. Check the location of the indicator on the Cycle Selector knob.

Hi, If you have a gas dryer.
The most common problem with a gas and no heat is the ignitor going bad...

Here is a tip that I wrote about that problem...

There's not much here to work with. Is your dryer gas or electric? Do any of your clothes get dry? When you check inside, does if feel like it was warm when it turned off? How long does it run? My first guess would be the cycle timer. But you need to note if the drum was actually spinning and if the heat came on. If so, and everything was normal before it failed I'd go with the timer. If not ,there is another issue like a a safety switch for gas dryers which will not open the gas valve when the glow bar doesn't come up to temperature. Lastly, note where the dial points when it fails and most modern dryers have other cycle dials. Try one of those and see if it stops there too. You might just have a dead spot on the time because that is what you always use.

could be a faulty stat or element,get an engineer to test the dyer, he will check insulation on the element, could try replacing the element that just might sort it

few possibilities here,idle pulleys could be wearing,front drum guides could be wearing,back drum bearing,bit early for these problems though,but sometimes coins get lodged at the drum paddles inside located 120degrees apart which wouldnt be anything to worry about if you can verify this,hope this helps

There is a mini manual located inside of the machine whith the codes and troubleshooting guide on some they are on left and some are under the top.

STOP USING THE DRYER AND CALL A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON TO TEST ALL GAS LINE CONNECTIONS WITHIN THE UNIT!

A gas leak can cause a fire in your home. Although, we have always used a gas dryer, and the clothes do have a fresher smell to them than an electric dryer. Any gas which may be in the area would be consumed when the gas flame was burning as normally the pilot remains lit throughout the drying cycle.

You may have a problem with a thermal overload sensor. Since it runs and then shuts off, this sounds like the problem.

Let it run. If nothing has changed, the dryer will go through several relight cycles and should eventually purge the lines of air.
