Have you replaced the air temp probe in the dryers oulet air stream?
As I told you the fuse is not the problem.
I forgot to tell you to check the lint filter first, if the lint filter is dirty, you can get reduced heating and the dryer can behave erratically.
The problem is either the
dampness sensor, or the board controlling the sensor.
The sensor (or the controller board) open or closes (depending on model) the circuit too early, and the dryer stop heating.
Always keep your appliance unplugged if you DIY.

SOURCE: Gas dryer not maintaining heat.
The problem is with the 2 little circular black coils next to the ignitor. They need to energize before the gas valve can open. They tend to get weak over time. I am 100% sure this is your problem. Good luck :)
Hi,
If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.
if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....
If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.
check out this electric no heat tip...

Not sure how this problem got posted twice, but thanks for two answers. Fuse is good, got it.

The lint screen is clear. I did follow the Troubleshooting instructions in the Owner's manual for "Not Drying Satisfactorily":
Exhaust vent is no crushed or kinked; I removed & vacuumed it out, and it exhausts to the outside of the home when connected.
Reset the circuit breaker.
Gas valve is open, and line is connected securely (we still have hot water in the house, so I think the gas is good, but possibly restricted?)
Timer is not set to "Air Dry"
Dryer is level
Nothing blocking the outlet grill
Clothes are not overly wet.
Load is not too large.
The problem persists. Maybe there is lint below the filter?
The problem is either the dampness sensor, or the board controlling the sensor.

Is it telling that the light/glow is continuous at the beginning, and then starts to cycle on & off after about 15 minutes? Or is that normal?
Any recommendations for online part ordering?

Got it.
