Sounds like a motor going out . You need to replace the motor .

Ok, first and foremost, make sure your vent is clean and clear.
If the vent is clean and free of obstructions the most likely culprit is your gas valve coils. When they fail the typical symptom is heat at the beginning of the cycle and no heat about 20 minutes later.
If you can, post the complete model number from the dryer and I will give you step by step tear-down and replacement of parts instructions.

The most common problem with a gas and no heat is the ignitor going bad...

Is this an ELECTRIC dryer? Or, a GAS dryer?

If this is an ELECTRIC dryer, the following link explains the most common causes of a "No Heat" problem:

If this is a GAS dryer, the common source of a "No Heat" problem is a failed igniter, or gas valve safety coils.

I hope this helps you. If you require addtional assistance, please post back with your make and model so I can make a more accurate diagnosis and/or identify any parts you may need.
