One of the most common faults with tumble dryers are:
 No Heat       
This is normally due to failure of the heating element/s or thermostat/s with the thermostats being the more prone to failure
    
Cause’s of the above to fail more frequently are failure to clean filters on a regular basis, overloading with clothing ie: causing 
poor air flow through the dryer and blocked (if you have it vented through the wall check the outside vent cover also) or kinked vent    hoses which again causes poor air flow
 Also note that vent hoses should not be to long the maxium should be about 8 to 9 feet as once these become to long the steam vapour produced from the drying will condense back to water before it gets to the end of the hose and can then run back into the dryer causing problems
