There are several things that can cause a gas dryer to have no heat. I can walk you through how to test the components if you have a bit of mechanical ability and an ohmmeter to test with. I will list the suspects here but to narrow it down we need to do a bit more troubleshooting.
Thermal fuse or thermal cut off - these two components can trip if too much heat builds up due to lack of air flow, usually a restricted vent.
Gas valve coils - these can fail as a result of age
Gas valve ignitor - This can fail as a result of age or vibration
Control/timer contacts - Fails due to age or heavy use
Let me know how deep you want me to go as far as troubleshooting with you on these and I would be happy to assist.
