This dryer has 2 different cycle thermostats One is for 135f and the other is for 125 f. Maybe the 125f tstat is faulty? I would check that before ordering a timer. A good cleaning might do it also. Clogged dryer will overheat you know.

Does sound like the timer, although the clock is moving, the contact for the heater element is burned out inside the timer, you probably have used this timed dry for your normal day to day use and worn out the contact, new timer required.

Hello there
when a gas dryer will not heat up properly there can be several different reasons i will try to explain them here for you ok
No heat
If your dryer doesn't heat, check these:
Igniter
Gas
valve coils
Thermal
fuse
Igniter
Modern gas dryers use an electric igniter to
ignite the gas from the gas valve. When it's working properly, the
igniter glows bright orange. When it burns out, the dryer tumbles but
there's no heat because the gas can't ignite. When the igniter burns
out, you need to replace it. If the igniter is held by a tension
bracket, you very well may need to replace the bracket too.
The igniter is inside the dryer housing, near the
bottom front, usually in a cone-shaped metal tube (the force cone). It's
about 2 inches long. It's mounted to the far end of the burner tube,
and it has two wires attached to it--or to the tension bracket, if
there is one.
Gas valve coils
Watch the igniter. Does it glow bright orange,
then shut off without igniting the gas? (When the gas ignites there's a
large blue flame.) If so, there may be defective coils on the gas valve.
Mounted on the top of modern gas valves, there are black electrical
coils. The coils, when energized, open the gas valve. If one or more of
the coils are defective, the valve doesn't open and the gas cannot
ignite. Because it's often difficult to properly test the coils, it's
usually best to replace both (all) of them at the same time.
Thermal fuse
On many dryers, there's a thermal fuse (a
heat-sensitive fuse that blows if the dryer overheats) mounted to the
exhaust duct inside the back cover panel. The fuse is about an inch
long. It's usually embedded in black resin and mounted in a white
plastic housing.
If the fuse has blown, it has no continuity. When
this happens, your dryer either just stops heating, or it doesn't work
at all. Be sure to inspect the venting/heating system before replacing
the fuse to put the dryer back into operation. (You can't re-set this
type of fuse.)

Try running your dry on no heat, If it still heats you need a timer. Make sure your vent is clear .
