This is probably due to a faulty heating element, something the average
do-it-yourselfer can replace. Disconnect the power supply, then refer
to the owner's manual for procedures to remove the front panel from
your specific model. If your dryer has a toe-kick plate in front,
that's all that needs to be removed.
1)Locate the heating element heat shield, a box on the lower right side of the dryer.
2)Using a screwdriver, pull the two screws at the front of the heat
shield. Remove the front of the heat shield or, if it is on a hinge,
flip it down.
3)Remove the wire leads from the heating element terminals by pulling on
the leads. To avoid damaging the wires, do not grab them when you pull
off the leads.
4)Remove the holding screw on the side of the heat shield that connects to the heating element.
5)Remove the heating element by sliding it out of the heat-shield box.
Install a new heating element and secure it to the heat shield with the
holding screw on the side.
6)Reconnect the wire leads to the new heating element by pushing them
onto the terminals. Place the heat shield front cover back into
position and secure it with the mounting screws.
7)Replace the front panel or toe-kick plate and reconnect the power supply to the dryer.
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 heat and spin then shuts off timer
Reach inside and turn the drum by hand. If it seems stiff then the rollers or glides need replacement. If the drum is pinching then that makes the motor get hot and quit.

SOURCE: my dryer is not shutting off/no heat
The cycle timer motor is bad. Easily replaced and you can do it yourself. Does the dryer normally heat when drying?
SOURCE: Dryer runs but does not heat. It runs continually
If your dryer never quits on its own, then your main selection switch may be bad. Even if the clothes don't dry, the timer should still only run to the end of the cycle and then stop. The problem with the lack of heat could also be caused by a bad timer switch, but that is rare. Usually it is caused by a bad igniter/heat sensor unit. Sometimes you can use a piece of sandpaper and clean the carbon off of the sensor and then it will sense heat when the pilot flame starts, then it will let the gas valve send gas to the main burner. The heat sensor it the part that is in the flame of the pilot light.
