Hi, If the dryer stops heating later in the cycle, it is most likely the coils on top of the gas valve. It is a very common issue with the gas dryer.
Here is how to change the coils
UNPLUG the dryer. This model you need to remove the two screws under the lint screen. Now use a flat blade screw drive and insert it in the gap between the top and the front panel and pry the top up. Now locate and remove the screws on the inside of the front panel in upper corners. The front should lift off. You will see the two black coils on the gas valve. When you remove the three wire coil, make sure the sleeve inside it gets put back on the post the coils slides onto.

Try and locate a gas valve it and you might want to try replacing the two control valves. there black with the wires going to them i Replace them on my dryer in there about 20 bucks
Can you look inside the door for your model number. I believe the problem is either a defective igniter or defective solenoid coils that open the gas valves=> 279834 Gas Valve Solenoid Set
Check the timer , the unit is shutting off when the timer is malfunctioning. If so replace the timer after trying to bypass to confirm that the gas supply is not cut off.
This is most likely due to the coils on the gas valve, they can become unstable and cause the symptoms you are describing. The coil kit is part number 279834 and runs about $20.00. It is replaceable from the front and not too hard to do.
Side note: the '8' in your model number is actually a 'B'
Please check the following things that could stop a gas dryer from heating:- glow bar igniter, thermal fuse ( not all models ), coils on the gas valve, gas valve, thermostats, motor heat switch, timer, selector switch, sensor.

HI, the timer is defective. the heating process can be affected if the timer isn't functioning correctly. replace this failed timer asap. this will fix the issue.
HI, After the heat shuts down, do you hear a click like it is trying to heat again but then get no flame. The most some problem is the coils on the gas valve go bad and will not reopen after they have heated up. Remove the cap on the front lower left panel. After dryer has ran and heat shuts down, watch and se if the ignitor glows again (you will hear a click) and the ignitor shuts off before a flame. If this happens, change the coils on th gas valve. Here is instruction:
