Dryer Blowing Circuit Breaker

Our dryer Maytag MEDC400VWO started blowing the circut breaker last night. We have not had any trouble to this point. Breaker box and house new (completed April 2013 and have used dryer since that time). Dryer will only run about 20 minutes before blowing the circut. Troubleshooting tips???
