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.

Our Whirlpool gas dryer, Model # LDI5701W1 stopped working in the middle of a cycle. Power supply is fine. With door closed, I can't hear the timer humming. Could it be a door switch, timer,?

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:

Dryer stops in the middle of cycle

The door latch has failed, that's why your dryer stops. When the door opens it stops the drum and turns off. Fix the latch.

Dryer was working, quit in middle of cycle. Will

It's rather unusual for any internal failure to cause the dryer to just stop in cycle. Check the circuit breaker that supplies the dryer. It should be a double-pole breaker of at least 30 amps. Turn the breaker off and back on to ensure it is reset. Internal causes could be the motor, door switch, thermal safety switch, timer, or a broken wire.

Kenmore dryer

Check the outside circuit breakers also check the door switch. Check to see if the switch holds with the door closed when you push it in.
