Replace the fuses and your problem is solved.

If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

i am sending you all the possibilities for your problem, check either of these causes ----and than let me know if it is solved----

Power from the house
Check to see whether there's power getting to the dryer. Is it plugged in? Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers--your dryer uses two fuses or circuit breakers. The dryer could tumble but not heat if only one of the two fuses is blown. If you have circuit breakers, one of the two circuit breakers can trip, even if the two for the dryer are connected.


Heating element
Often a dryer heating element burns out, but doesn't trip the circuit breaker or blow a fuse. The heating element is simply a long coil of special wire. You can check it for continuity with an ohm meter. No continuity means the element is bad and you need to replace it--electric heating elements aren't repairable.


Thermal fuse
On many dryers, there's a thermal fuse mounted to the exhaust duct inside the back cover panel. The fuse--which is about an inch long--is usually embedded in black resin and mounted in a white plastic housing. If the fuse has blown, you need to replace it. (You can't re-set it.)


Wiring
A common problem is for the main wiring connection from the house, at the dryer, to burn and break its connection. Because the dryer can still tumble with partial power, the connection may be only partially defective. You may need to replace both the power cord to the dryer and the terminal block inside the dryer that the wire is attached to.

problem: Check the Ventilation: Ensure that the dryer's exhaust vent is not blocked or obstructed. Proper ventilation is crucial for efficient drying and preventing overheating. Clear any lint buildup or debris from the vent. Overheating Protection: The dryer may be shutting off due to overheating. Check if the unit feels excessively hot during operation. If it does, the thermal fuse or thermostat might be tripping. These safety features prevent the dryer from overheating. If they are faulty, the dryer will shut down. You may need to replace them. Load Size and Type: Make sure you're not overloading the dryer. Excessive load can strain the motor and cause it to shut off. Also, consider the fabric type. Delicate fabrics might trigger the safety features if the heat is too high. Power Supply and Cord: Confirm that the dryer is properly plugged into a grounded outlet. Check the power cord for any damage or loose connections. Avoid using extension cords, as they can affect performance. Timer and Settings: Verify that the timer is set correctly. If the timer runs out, the dryer will stop. Also, ensure you've selected the appropriate heat setting (low, medium, or high) based on the fabric type. User Manual: Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on operating and troubleshooting your dryer. If the issue persists after checking these points, consider contacting Magic Chef Customer Service at 1-888-775-0202 for further assistance.

This says it has two. One is always on the heater box, the other one is described as 'Air Exhaust Thermal Breaker', so would suggest just after the heater box and before the drum. https://www.washerpartsworld.com/brands/magic-chef/mcsdry35w It may also have one that looks like this. Test all the parts with a multimeter, don't blindly replace them.. https://www.partselect.com/PS11741460-Whirlpool-WP3392519-Dryer-Thermal-Fuse.htm?SourceCode=18 ..

Question edited for clarity. That is indicative of a failed Start/Run capacitor. Because it is gas, you need an engineer to visit and replace..

ELEMENT BURNT OUT POSSIBLY

first off the thermal fuse would shut the machine down completely.. check these instead ELECTRICDryer no heat or little heat, or shuts down to fast: Checkyour venting and lint basket. Check blower for lint build up and blower wheel obstruction., test by trying to turn the wheel manually by hand (should be easy) May have to remove cabinet or front/back plate to get to it) Next check the heating element itself with a meter for continuityit should showOHMS CLOSED CIRCUIT. If not its defectiveor has a short if its grounding out? Which in turns causes blown fuses or thermostats or overheating. The heating elements are located inside the heater ducts. If you think a heating element is faulty, test it with avolt-ohm-multimeter(VOM)set to the RX1 scaleat 20K ohms. Disconnect the leads from the power terminals and clip one probe of the VOM to each terminal. The meter should read about 12. (1200)ohms.If the reading is higherohms, the heater is faulty and should be replaced. Replace a faulty heater with a new one of the same type and electrical rating. A heater connected to a 115-volt line usually has an 8.4-ohm resistance; a heater connected to a 220-volt line usually has 11 ohms resistance. Check dryer Terminal block prongs both outside prongs should give combined 220, and 110 each if u check 1 outside & 1 center (ground) prong. Also check house electrical outlet for full voltage. 220 because if u only get half or 110 volts you will be able to run the machine which uses only 110 to run motor but not the heater which uses a full 220,OR?you may have a broken centrifugal switch in the motor because this switch activates the motor and the heater as well. supposedto be if the motor does not run, the heater should not heat in order not to createafire but ifthe motor is not running,andthe heater is still heating, then there could be a problem with the motor centrifugal switch that is connected to this interlock switch that should trigger the heater. Check the thermal cut off, the cycling and the hi limit thermostats. For continuity or OHMS. If no ohms or resistance they need replacement. In somedryer'sthecontrol panel relies on athermistorrather than aCYCLING thermostatto regulate the drum's air temperature by monitoring the component's resistance changes; resistance goes down as temperature increases and up when temperature decreases. Once the drum's air temperature reaches a certain level required to dry clothes, the control panel shuts off the heater. The panel will turn the heater on again and begin another heating cycle when thethermistorindicates that more heat is needed to keep the air temperature constant inside the drumthis is why in some cases the dryer will operate at lower cycles like gentle or low heat but not at higher settings?) Lastly check your moister sensor.( located inside the dryer door usually) Especially if machine seems to shutdown early and clothesare still wet. Test with a meterat room temperatureand it should show continuity. A failed moisture sensor will affect the dryer run timein the automatic moisture sensing cyclebut it will not affect the heatingof the dryer or the timed cycle.Which are reflected by the thermostats.

You will need to get the one that fits the plug mounted on the wall, It could be a three or a four prong

Blower wheel strip out from motor shaft

TRY TO IMAGINE TAPE OR TRY PAINTER'S TAPE TO SEE IF THE IDEA MAY KEEP SHROUD IN PLACE. IF YES, REMOVE TAPE AS IT MAY CATCH FIRE. BE EXTRA SAFETY CONSCIOUS - BUY SAFE TAPE. BUY SMALL ROLL OF ALUMINUM TAPE, WITH ONE SIDE STICKY, TO USE IN PLACE OF OTHER TAPES. CONSIDER DOLLAR STORE OR AUTO SUPPLY TAPE.

MODEL number... gas/electric would help GREATLY. Hello Chris Huff , MY very first recommendation would be to disconnect the power... and the air vent at the machine. Carefully run your hand into the machine and feel for any BLOCKAGE... lint, missing socks, snakes, hamsters ... (etc.). If the VENT is CLEAR try running the machine with a SMALL LOAD to see if you are getting past that "10 mins" you described ... ** (supervised operation with door or window OPEN). If the machine acts MORE NORMAL suspect your wall vent is the TROUBLE (needs cleaning or replacement). This is a very common cause of HOUSE FIRES... So DO NOT pretend things are "better"...\ Make sure...!! or hire a PROFESSIONAL VENT CLEANER Blocked vent will cause excessive heat... HIGH temp thermostat will stop machine for life & safety reasons. SERIOUSLY...!!

Located on blower housing or heater housing depending on design. What is model ?

Most likely a pinched exhaust hose.

go here put your model number in and look up the timer then google the timer part number and how to wire it you should find something on utube https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/MEDC215EW1/3048/0151200.html?searchType=modelSearch&q=MEDC215EW1&searchTerm=MEDC215EW1

Defective dryer drum bearing.

tes you can use 3 prong the left and right wires go on left and right terminals on stove middle wire goes in the middle.

Check the bearings and your vent. Belt should be replaced as there is no air circulation
