there are several reasons, an easy one to check is the breaker or fuse panel if one side of the breaker has tripped(not completely unheard of) or if one fuse has blown the dryer may still run but not heat. there are also several safeties in the electrical circuit that fail the element only and will allow the motor to run but should be attended to by a qualified individual.

How do you switch a gas dryer to an electric?
no, unless you can find a gas powered generator to make your electricity, then yes. No!! In the electric dryer there is a heating element ... for a gas dryer there is a heating box where a gas flame has to exist in order to heat sufficiently for the clothes to dry. Configuring an electric dryer to gas is impractical, and simply an unwise thing to even attempt. The conversion process would cost more than just going out and purchaseing a gas dryer.

Why does your electric clothes dryer keep shutting off?
If it shuts down and then restarts after being off awhile the problem is most likely the over temperature switch. Cleaning the lint from the back of the dryer and the exhaust vent may correct the problem, if not you may have to replace the switch.
How do you convert a gas drier to an electric drier?
A gas clothes dryer will never become an electric dryer. To convert from an old gas dryer to a new electric model, the only major thing is to make sure there is the right kind of electric power outlet. Nearly all dryers require a large 30A 230V plug. Your gas dryer had only a regular 15A 117V plug, just light the other regular outlets in the house. Grounding is essential (!) for an electric dryer. If the ground is not there you will eventually get a horrible shock from the washer or dryer. A few clothes dryers (usually apartment sized models) use only the standard outlet, but expect a drying time of 2 hours plus for a small load of clothes.

For a gas dryer in the US you will need a 120 volt outlet to plug into. The old electric dryer was 220 volts so that outlet cannot be used as it is currently. Second, you will need to have a gas line run to the site of the new dryer. That should be it.
