My kitchen aid superba dryer starts heating, but then the heat turns off after a few minutes.
The #1 problem is air flow. Check to make sure the vent pipe has plenty of air blowing out it. You can check this by turning it on and going outside where it vents out of the house. If the air flow is not strong you have a blockage or crushed vent pipe. Use a shop vac to clean piping and lent trap to get better air flow. Once airflow is restored your heating element should keep heating.
Clear the vent hose to the outdoors- clean the lint trap - if all vents are clear, your temp safety switch is cutting off heat (for a reason) If dryer is 5 yrs orolder - replace with higher rated energy saver - it will pay off.
SOURCE: The drier has no heat.
I have a repairman scheduled for tomorrow.
Thank you for the followup.

Hi, If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly. if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip.... If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat. check out this electric no heat tip... heatman101
