Hi,
You most likely have a bad coil on the burner. I hope this helps. If I can help with anything else please let me know.

I figured out it was the start switch and took the switch apart and repaired the welded together contacts. Took only a few minutes.

Our dryer will not stay on

sounds like your motor is overheating or going bad. sometimes lint built up around the motor can cause it to overheat. or the motor is dying.

when you try to start it again do you hear a humming comeing from the motor? can you jump start it by turning the drum while holding the start button? If you say yes to these questions you have a bad motor.

Unplug the machine for 30 minutes , plug it back it, start it for 1 minute, unplug it again for 5 minutes then plug back it and it should work. If not then write back with the error codes so further diagnostics can be done

replace motor drive,,,defective motor...onthejob

Start any cycle. Dryer runs for 10 to 15 minutes, then stops before cycle is complete. Start again, stops again in 10 to 15 minutes.
