This could be a number of issues. It could be that the dryer is not recieving the proper voltage that it needs to heat properly, the heating element may be out, a faulty thermal fuse, the thermostat, or the timer motor. The most likely out of these is probably going to be the heating element. It is fairly inexpensive to fix. I do know that the new washer/dryer combos sometimes need to be unplugged and plugged back in from time to time just like a computer so you may want to begin by trying that.

Sounds like either the heating element, thermal limiter, or blower assembly needs to be diagnosed. This must be done properly by a professional before you continue.
