My 10 year old Maytag Neptune gas dryer gets hot for about 30 or so seconds then gets cold. The vents are clear and the dryer is spinning. It runs forever without drying the cloths....
Below is a link courtesy of www.repairclinic.com. This shows the Gas Valve Coils, which is the number 1 failing component.

Below is the disassembly/diagnostic procedures page that may help on teardown.

Gas valve solenoid or flame sensor has failed.
Flame sensor has continuity when cold.... none when hot.
Is the igniter glowing? If not - the igniter may be bad as well.
You have some work ahead of you to check all 3 things.
Keep us posted.
