Could be a number of things but I would do the following first

Undo the dryer from the exhaust
Run a load
If the load dries correctly then you have a vent problem.
Clean/check the vent system. Make sure the outside louvers open fully.

If you do not want lint in the house.
Take a pair of pantyhose, put one leg into the other and attach this to the dryer exhaust.
Leave enough room behind the dryer so it can blow out like a windsock.
Run a load.

Both the above will allow you to check the air flow and temp.
Also the above is NOT recommended for a gas dryer due to possible carbon monoxide problems.

I just had this problem. I was ready to buy a new one, but thought I'd give fix it a shot. I went to buy the Ignitor and was told by the counter person that 80% of the time the problem could be fixed by replacing the thermal fuse. I bought both parts, went home and replace the thermal fuse firs, and it worked. I'm sure glad I went to a place that had honest, knowledgeable employees.
