Your vent may be obstructed causing the dryer to trip, once it cools down it will reset itself.
The way to see if thats the problem is to disconnect the vent and run the machine, if it doesn't shut off, you will need to clear the vent.
Hi, Check the door switch and the fuse. The fuse is the most common cause. You can also let the dryer cool down for an hour and see if it will restart. If it restarts, the motor might be going bad. It is hard to say without model# I'm afraid. I have not heard of a top load dryer but, these are common things to check.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.

if the clothes are warm after the cycle then you need to make sure the vent to the outside of the house is not plugged if they are not warm then it is in the heating circuit of the dryer wether it be the element or a fuse will have to be tested. to dry clothes it takes heat and air flow if you dont have one of the two they will not dry correctly
First, The most common part would be the over limit safety, it will be mounted to the element housing. Second, there is a thermal fuse usually a small disk with a little fuse inside. You can find these (with your model no.) at www.Repairclinic.com .Good luck.
Might be the thermal protector in the motor that is shutting down the dryer, if motor overheats this is what will happen. Make sure there is no lint build up around the motor, if not the motor is bad. does the dryer start right away after shutting off or do you have to wait? If you have to wait the motor is bad.
My dryer is making a loud sound while drying the clothes. The heater still works, but is just very loud while drying. What is the problem with my dryer?
