it sounds like another gas valve coils went bad. Usually when they get bad they work for the first 15-30mins after you start the dryer then quit. then works again after restarting you dryer. then quits again and so on....
Open the access panel on your dryer, back or front of the dryer depends on what model. Let the dryer run and observe if the igniter glows, observe if gas valve opens resuting burner to lit. Observe for several cycles, if you noticed igniter to glow but no resulting flame from burner i would suspect solenoid coils are bad, easy to replace.
edit:
opss...you said heating element. must be electric dryer. my bad.
check thermostats for continuity.
