Wait about 5 minutes and press switch and it starts again but then stops again after 1/4 mile
SOURCE: Dryer runs for 5 minutes then stops
look in the vent line for a small disk shaped overload with two wires coming out of it. it may be bad. also check for a lint build-up in the exhaust line out of the blower. check the damper outlet going out of the house for a build-up of lint.

It sounds to me like it is overheating. Make sure that all of the literature that came with the unit is accounted for. Many times the manual or instructions are blocking the exhaust causing it to overheat. If this is not the problem then I would suggest exchanging it for a new one. It may be a manufacturer defect.

Hello ENRIGHT11
Welcome to Fixya
My name is Huum,
You said,
DRYER MAKES VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN RUNNING. ALTHOUGH IT HEATS UP AND
BEGINS TO DRY, IT STOPS RUNNING COMPLETELY AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES. IF
YOU WAIT AN HOUR, YOU CAN START IT AGAIN, BUT IT AGAIN SOUNDS VERY LOUD
(ALMOST A RATTLING SOUND) AND THEN SHUTS OFF AFTER 5 MINUTES
Faulty Blower Wheel
If you hear a great deal
of noise coming from the blower area of the dryer when it is running,
then the blower wheel could be defective.
The are many different
designs for blower wheels and just as many unique failure modes. Vanes
(fins) can break off the wheel and bounce around in the blower breaking
more pieces. The blower can break around the coupler with the shaft.
This can cause the blower to spin loosely on the shaft. The blower can
form cracks which cause it to vibrate, etc.
You should also not
be surprised to find foreign debris in the blower. The occasional
bird, rodent or squirrel has been known to bypass the out vent cover.
If they crawl into the exhaust tube the first thing they come into
contact with is the blower wheel.
If the blower wheel is not
spinning, or if it is missing vanes, it is not moving air efficiently.
As a result, heat is not removed from the heat source and it can trip
the high limit switch or blow the thermal cut-off.
Worn Belt
A worn belt can stretch
and/or become brittle with age. The belt can then slip on the drum or
motor to cause squeaking. If this is the case, the solution is to
replace the worn belt.
The belt is not the only item that can
cause squeaking. It can also be caused by a faulty idler pulley, worn
drum bearings, worn drum glides or worn drum rollers depending on brand
and style.
When replacing the Belt is is a good idea to also change the Drum
Support Rollers, Drum Glides, Idler Pulley and Clips. All of these
items are economical easily changeable when replacing the belt. The
upside is that your dryer will operate like new.
Recent Customer Symptoms:
Dryer makes loud noise when turned on. Dryer works and heats up OK but makes too much noise.
Worn Drum Glides
Some
dryer models are equipped with Drum Glides. The front of the dryer
rests on these glides. They provide a low friction surface on which
the drum spins. After time however, this glides wear down. Much like
an automobile brakes, these glides make a load grinding noise when they
wear thin. This griding against the drum usually leaves a bare metal
stripe that is visible at the point of contact. If the glides are
worn, the solution is to replace them.
The drum glides not
the only items that can cause squeaking. It can also be caused by a
faulty idler pulley, worn drum bearings, a worn belt or worn drum
rollers depending on brand and style.
When replacing the Drum Glides it is a good idea to also change the
Drum Support Rollers, Drum Belt, Idler Pulley and Clips. All of these
items are economical and easily changeable when replacing the glides.
The upside is that your dryer will operate like new.
Worn Rear Drum Bearing
Some
dryer models are equiped with a Rear Drum Bearing. The rear of the drum
rests on this bearing. It provides a low friction surface on which the
drum spins. After time however, this bearing will wear down. If the
bearing is worn, the solution is to replace it.
The rear drum
bearing not the only item that can cause squeaking. It can also be
caused by a faulty idler pulley, worn drum glides, a worn belt or worn

When replacing the rear drum bearing it is a good idea to also change
the drum glides, drum support rollers, drum belt, idler pulley and
clips depending on make and model. All of these items are economical and

Worn Drum Support Rollers
Some
dryers such as Whirlpool/Kenmore brands are equipped with Rear Drum
Support Rollers. The weight of the dryer drum rests on these rollers.
They provide a low friction surface on which the drum spins when in
operation. After time however, these rollers wear down. When they
wear, often times they begin to elongate and form a non-round 'cam'
shape. The result is that when the dryer is turned on it creates a
rumble that sounds as though you are trying to dry a pair of tennis
shoes. This sound is usually the drum being forced up and down on the
non-round wheels. If the rollers are worn, the solution is to replace
them.
When replacing the Drum Rollers it is a good idea to
also change the Front Drum Glides, Drum Belt, Idler Pulley and Clips.
All of these items are economical and easily changeable when replacing
the glides. The upside is that your dryer will operate like new.
Whirlpool
Kenmore models have a dryer maintenance kit that contains all of these items in a single kit.

The fan motor is getting hot and going off on the internal overload in the motor.
This is caused by either a low voltage, a bad capacitor, or tight or dry bearings in the motor.
To check the bearings turn the power off to the unit, then spin the fan blade if it spins freely then the bearings are ok.
To check the capacitor you will need some kind of tester or you can buy a capacitor and replace it, that's what a lot of people do. They usually don't cost very much.
To check the voltage you will need a voltmeter and measure the volts at the unit.
SOURCE: engine shuts off while driving
I would suspect a faulty EGR valve, but is the check engine light on? If it is, take the vehicle to an autoparts store and have them use a scan tool to retrieve the fault code(s) stored in the computer. Most parts stores offer this service free of charge. That will narrow the search for the problem. Sure hope this helped.
It is necessary to lubricate your treadmill running deck every six months or 150 miles to maintain optimal performance. Once the treadmill reaches 150 miles, the console will display the message "LUBE" or "LUBE BELT". The treadmill will not operate while the message is showing. Hold Stop for 5 seconds to suspend message for 5 miles. Your treadmill came with a bottle of lubricant which can be used for two applications. If you need lubricant, contact Horizon Fitness. Only use lubricant provided by Horizon Fitness.
• Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the power
cord at the wall outlet.
• Loosen both the rear roller bolts. (For best results, place two removable
marks on both sides of the frame and note roller position). Once the
belt is loosened, take the bottle of lubricant and apply it to the entire
top surface of the running deck. Tighten both rear roller bolts
(matching up the marks for proper position) to original position. After
you have applied lubricant, plug in the power cord, insert the safety
key, start the treadmill and walk on the belt for two minutes to spread
the lubricant.
• Lubricate the air shocks with Teflon based spray.
• Once lubrication is complete, reset the console by pressing and holding 'STOP' and Speed '+' buttons for 5 seconds.
