Yes indeed the dryer has a thermal fuse that not only could go out between cycles it could also mid cycle and leave ya with a partially dry load and a dead dryer, that is one of two parts that could be your trouble the other is the door switch, open the door and see if their is a little finger on the top right corner of the front panel inside of the door area, if not it has snapped of and the switch needs to be replaced,if its intact the thermal fuse is the problem I have included links for youtube videos showing you how to replace the thermal fuse and the door switch

You may be experiencing "Heat Retention" by stopping your dryer mid-cycle, which you should NOT ever have to do! If you have a minor vent restriction or if you open the dryer mid-cycle when the heat is on, this will cause a disruption in the airflow and rising temperatures can keep the dryer from restarting until it has been cooled long enough.
Check your vent all the way to the outside for restrictions/obstructions every 6 months. Clean your lint filter after each load and DO NOT stop the dryer mid-cycle!
Note: Stopping the dryer mid-cycle can also cause severe burns and even melt polyester fibers.
I presume she pushed the start button again. Can you hear the motor running? If so, it's a broken belt. The door switch can fail anytime. If the dryer started ok later, the motor was overheated. Lighter loads will avoid a lot of problems, and the dryer will probably work better.
Inside the drum is 2 long metal trips that measure capacitance in the clothes as they get dryer. Sometimmes liquid fabric softener gets on them and stops the process. Wipe them off. They are right on the filter housing inside just below the filter.
