I believe that dryers have a thermal overload protection switch. If the dryer gets too hot (or the switch "thinks" it is getting too hot because it is failing), it turns off the heating element.
Have you tried drying on the lowest setting to see if the heating element stops on that setting?
* Edit - Yeah, it would probably help if I actually read the rest...
