The first thing I would do in such situation is clean the dryer vent line all the way through the vent outlet. If the vent goes far away, especially if it goes on top of the roof, you will need a professional cleaning. Usually such job done by people who does air ducts cleaning. Also take the dryer apart and clean all lint accumulated inside including the lint chute (#1 on the diagram). Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Maytag AED4475TQ1 29" ELECTRIC DRYER | AppliancePartsPros.comGene.

If you are sure there are no air flow restrictions, replace the thermal cut-off which comes as a kit, including the hi-limit thermostat. It would not hurt to replace the cycling thermostat at the same time. It is impossible to check them instrumentally if there is a wrong temperature reading by these thermostats. - The thermal cut-off kit Part number: AP3094244
