Hello there:
please try each step of this guide i have provided for you
Investigate these five areas if your dryer is not heating up:

Proper Voltage

If your dryer won't heat up, it's possible that it is not being supplied with the proper voltage. Here are three ways to make sure power is getting to your dryer: First, make sure your dryer is plugged in. Next, check the circuit breaker panel to make sure all the circuit breakers are in the correct positions. Finally, check to make sure no fuses in your fuse panel are blown. Any of these could explain why power is not getting to your dryer.

It is possible that your dryer isn't heating because its heating element is defective. Heating elements are irrepairable. If yours has ceased to function properly, you will have to replace it. Open your dryer's cabinet and locate the heating element so that you can test it.

Another possible cause for a dryer not heating up could be attributed to a faulty thermal fuse. Once a dryer's thermal fuse has blown, it is no longer of any use. If your dryer's fuse is blown, you will have to replace it. Open up your dryer's cabinet and locate its thermal fuse so that you can test it.

Burner runs for a minute then shut=off , igniter comes on but main burner does not come on

The coils located on the gas valve close to the burner have gone bad. Very inexpensive to repair and easy to do as long as you can use phillips screw driver. One of the coils is getting hot and causing this problem.

Maytag Dryer Model SDG305DAWW

The model listed above your post is the Gas version. Look inside the door and write down the correct number for the electric model. I do believe there was some blockage in the exhaust leading the hot air outside and it has damaged the part number 40113801 Thermal Fuse High Limit
Let me know, so I can help you better, my sites are listed below,
you can enter the model or part number in the search feature and go directly to it, Thanks and rate me if this is helpful, Sea Breeze

Maytag gas dryer wont stay hot

Check the exhaust to see if it is clogged. If not, you may need a pair of gas valve coils (not very hard.)
Replace the coils if you see the ignitor glow and shut off, without the gas valve opening up.

After a few heating cycles the burner does not ignite

The problem you are describing is usually associated with a bad gas valve coil. The dryer runs normally until it gets hot, then starts making a strange clicking noise. After it cools down, the dryer runs normally again. The gas valve coils (there are two of them) usually run about $20 a piece. I recommend replacing both of them at the same time just to be sure. I hope this helps.
