Drive Motor
The dryer drive motor turns the drum and the
blower wheel to exhaust the air. If the dryer stops the motor might be
defective. If the dryer stops and the dryer motor makes a humming noise
there might be something caught in the blower wheel, or the drum might
be binding. Try removing the belt from the motor and checking the blower
wheel for obstructions. Also try rotating the drum by hand with the
belt off, it should rotate freely. If the drum doesn't turn freely,
determine what is causing it to bind. The dryer motor can't be tested
easily. If the drum turns freely and the blower wheel is clear, and yet
the dryer still keeps stopping mid-cycle the motor may be defective. it
will need to be replaced. It is not serviceable.

Drum Roller Axle
This dryer has drum support rollers. There
will always be two supporting the rear of the drum, and on some models
there may be two supporting the front of the drum. The rollers must spin
freely to work properly. If the roller axles are worn out the rollers
may not spin freely which can overload the motor and the dryer stops. If
the dryer stops mid-cycle, remove the belt and spin the drum, it should
spin freely. If not, check the rollers and roller shafts.

Drum Roller
This dryer has drum support rollers. There
will always be two supporting the rear of the drum, and on some models
there may be two supporting the front of the drum. The rollers must spin
freely to work properly. If they are worn out or start binding the
motor can get overloaded and the dryer stops. If the dryer stops
mid-cycle, check to be sure the drum turns freely with the belt removed.
If not, check the rollers. Do not lubricate the rollers or roller
shaft, lubrication will attract lint and cause the roller bearings to
wear out faster. If the rollers don't turn freely, replace them. The
roller shaft can often be reused, unless it has worn down. Clean the
shaft thoroughly before installing the new rollers.

Drum Slide, Glide, or Pad
The front of the dryer drum is supported by
small pieces of plastic-like material. As the drum rotates, it slides on
these plastic pieces. If the dryer stops mid-cycle, it may be that one
or more of these plastic slides or glides has worn out. When they wear
out the drum can start binding and put strain on the motor. The motor
then shuts down and the dryer stops. Check the glides for wear and
replace as needed.

Drum Bearing
The drum bearing supports the rear of the
dryer drum. Over time this bearing will wear out and may cause several
different problems. If the dryer stops during the cycle it may be that
this drum bearing has worn out and is putting too much strain on the
motor. If the belt is removed and the drum spins freely, the drum
bearing is probably not worn out. If the drum bearing is worn out, there
may be some grinding or squealing, and the drum will be hard to turn.

Dryness Control Board
The dryness control board shuts off the dryer
when the clothes have reached the level of dryness selected by the
user. If the dryer stops too early, the dryness control board might be
defective. This is not very common and other possibilities should be
checked first.

I ordered the belt and will figure out how to do it. I just replaced the plastic "do-hickey"( that quickly I forgot what the part was called) that broke in my washer 2 months ago that caused that to stop spinning. That was a pain but I got it done. Interesting how I lost the spinning component both in my washer and dryer within 2 months of each other....or more like a headache!
Any helpful suggestions for the belt replacement in the Estate Dryer when the part comes in?
I have the same problem that started last night. Also not sure if yours does the same or not but when I turn the timer on the element heats up without pushing the start button but no matter what it doesn't spin. I know the belt is good. It has to be either s sensor or a relay stuck open or something like that.
Any help is very much appreciated.
