A dryer that takes two cycles is usually telling you about airflow: a clogged lint path, a crushed vent hose, or a long duct run to the outside. We check those before blaming the heating element or gas valve.
Garage-installed refrigerators and freezers are common here, and on a hot afternoon a garage can run far warmer than these units are built for.

Electric, gas, ventless and heat pump dryers
Electric dryers heat with a coiled element and need a 240-volt circuit. Their common failures are the element itself, the thermal fuse, the high-limit thermostat and the cycling thermostat. Gas dryers use a burner assembly with a glow-bar igniter, a flame sensor and a pair of gas valve coils; when those coils weaken, the dryer lights once and then won't relight, so it runs cooler and cooler as the cycle goes on.
Ventless condenser dryers and heat pump dryers, more common in condos and stacked units where a vent to the outside isn't practical, recycle the air and pull the water out in a condenser. They rely on clean lint filters and a clear condensate path; a clogged condenser or full water container stops them as surely as a blocked vent stops a regular dryer. Heat pump models also have a small refrigeration circuit, which changes the repair picture.
