First, make sure the vent isn't clogged with lint. A clogged vent will
still allow the dryer run, but it won't heat up.

I had that trouble with a new dryer, and so called the store. They
told me to check the electric supply. Check for 240V between the hot
wires as well as 120V between either and neutral. Also, check that the
exhaust isn't blocked.

In addition to the fact that it is likely a cheap and easy fix, a DIY
for many people, you may find that it works much better than it has for
years. You may have been running on half power 120V for some time.
