Sorry to get back so late. Airflow is so critical with dryers. If you have ever put your hand over the back of a hair dryer you can see the element glow really hot and if left long enough it will trip a fuse and shut off until it cools down again. Same thing can happen with a clothes dryer. Check your venting and place primary emphasis on keeping it flowing well with no restrictions (kinks, tight bends, lint build up). If airflow is great we may have a major problem. Let us know.
