    There are several things that can go wrong with a dry but lets start with easy and inexpensive. Pull the dryer out from the wall and disconnected the vent tube. Inspect inside the tube and the dryer to insure you don't have a lint blockage. I suspect this because it sounds like your dryer is overheating and shutting off for safety.
