Either the thermostat is stuck on, which is unlikely, or else there is lint inside the dryer and its internal venting which is blocking air flow, which is very likely. When it gets hot this will cause a non-resettable thermal fuse/thermostat to blow. Open it up, clean it out and check the thermostats/thermal fuses for continuity You will probably find the problem.
