For a more complete answer we do need that model number. Meanwhile, here are the main causes

1. Clogged vent will cause the high limit thermostat to shut off the heating element.

  1. Blower wheel may be damaged, try rotation by hand to see if it is free
  2. Defective heating element, test with a multimeter
  3. Moisture Sensor
  4. High limit thermostat on the heating element
  5. Cycling Thermostat on the blower housing, test with multimeter
