John is spot on.
Trent,
Sounds like you are having some type of high heat problem. First thing I would suggest is looking to make sure your vent line is clear. If that is all clear, then you would have to start eliminating various different thermostats to find what is not kicking out the heater when it should. If you know how to read wire schematics, I would start with the operating thermostat and move on from there. Good luck and I hope this helps!

i think model may have what is known as a even heat control possible it may be bad or motor relay just to right of control motor relay is the one with blue wires switch the heat relay the one with big red wires with it to verify to acess both remove screws under end cap..they just pull off.. and lift console up and back
SOURCE: kenmore 90 series gas dryer
possible motor overheat ..if unit has a lot of lint or has had vent problems now or in past lint may have accumilated around motor and caused it to overheat and shut off.. probably to late to save motor
SOURCE: heat runs ten minutes than heat shuts off continues to run
I'm thinking the thermostat has failed, it get's too hot and the emergency over temp sensor kills the flame before a fire is started.
SOURCE: dryer runs for ten minutes then stops
If it's electric and the discharge hose is plugged with lint, a thermal switch will shut it down when it reaches a preset temp. (that's too hot). Also check for lint in the discharge pipe of the dryer. It is possible that the switch is bad. It will be marked at the temp. it shuts down at. Connect switch to an ohm meter, put it in the oven (but not the meter) and make sure it's opening at the proper temp. If the switch is opening at too low of a temp. replace the switch. Bob Taylor
SOURCE: Dryer will stop heating after ten minutes...
This caused by one of two possible things. Either you have poor air flow, or a clogged vent preventing air from flowing freely and therefor making the dryer short cycle, which in turn will take you two or three times to dry yor clothes, or the heating element has gone bad, burnt in half and is making contact with the case to provide it just enough power to barely heat. The second thing is a very rare occurance. I would turn the dryer on, find out where the air vents out to, and with the dryer running, go to where it vents and check to see if there is a strong flow of air. 9 times out of 10 that is going to be your problem. Another way to check air flow is to just pull the vent off the back and let the dryer run and see if your clothes dry faster. If you do it that way and they still take a long time to dry, then you'll probably need to replace the heating element
