There is a thermal fuse in the blower housing tht is bad.. what makes it blow the fuse is a clogged dryer vent.. after u replace tht fuse make sure your vent is cleaned out. wht happens is the unit over heats and then blows the fuse..
okay, you have a bad motor, this motor is caused by bad ventillation, instead of your lint going outside it is getting on your motor. i am sure your dryer was taking a long time to dry.
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.

Loads may be too large. Also when you reset and restart, the heat overload is cutting out. If your discarge is kinked or not venting properly this will cause it not to dry as well. Also check your lint screen. Good Luck!
If it was really loaded with int, it may have killed the motor. You could take it apart and thoroughly vacuum it. If that doesn't work, I'm afraid you'll need a motor
sounds as if your motor is overheating nad shutting off.. willl it restart right away??? or will make you wait 20 min before restarting again only for 20 secs??? if so thats a bad motor
Your dryer needs a new motor. It should cost about $200-250 including labor. Call a local repairman - not a national company. Give him the model number and ask him to bring the motor with him.
