This is a sign of the Motor failing. The motor is over heating and then wont start again. When the start button is pushed, does it make a humming noise? If so replace drive motor and it will fix it all up!
SOURCE: My Dryer will only work if I hold start button, when I release start button the dryer stops.
Anra, this is a classic symptom of a failed even heat board. I've seen a lot of these failures out there. Easy to change out. Check out this link. Catriver..post back http://www.repairclinic.com/0080.asp

What you describe is either a failed evenheat board or a failed motor relay.
Please post the complete model number from the machine and I can help you narrow it down. There should be a wiring diagram inside the console with voltage checks also.
Thanks/Mike

HAVE YOU CHECKED THE IDER ARM UNDER THE BOTTOM FRONT OF THE DRUM??????THANKS
SOURCE: START AND RUN PROBLEM
check the motor relay. there are 4 wires( 2 are pink and black) this goes to the coil of the relay and must show resistance(closed) you can also jump out the 2 blue wires and see it the unit keeps running. The part number for the relay is: FSP3405281 approx 40.00US
