I believe that is a Whirlpool brand.

Unplug unit. Check to be sure you have 240 Volts at wall outlet.

Most parts likely to fail are inside the rear cover. Heater is on right inside can, safety thermostat on lower left of can, High limit thermostat (non-resettable) higher left of can. On the blower housing to the left are the operating thermostat and a thermal fuse (white plastic). ALL can be continuity checked easily. Always disconnect wire on one side of what you are testing. One will likely be open.

Only other parts in the heat system are the timer and heat selector switch in the upper control panel. They are NOT likely the cause of your problem.

Remove the rear panel to access the thermostats and relays. Use a volt/ohm meter set for ohms(continuity) remove the wires and check the thermal fuse on the top portion of the heat canister. Remove the wires and Check the high limit thermostat at the heater terminal connection. Both these should read continuity. If not,replace both, they usually come as a set.
If both are good remove the wires from the heater and check continuity. If none,replace the heater.

Maytag Dryer Model med5630TQ0, run it for 30 minutes works great run a second time for 30 minutes it automatically shuts-off and than I have to wait until it cools off to use heat option

Try cleaning out the vent in the wall and also check the vent hose to ensure its not kinked. If good air flow coming out of vent on back of dryer while running you could have a bad motor. Have to be disassembled to check it professionally.
