Check your Thermal fuse.

It is mounted on the rear of the dryer on the blower housing.

IF YOU HAVE NOT CLEAN OUT THE LINT MOST PROVALY THE MOTOR IS FULL OF LINT AND IT GET HOT AND STOP.IT WENT IT COOLS DOWN IT STAR REPLACE THE MOTOR OR BUY A NEW 1 WILL CUST TO MUCH TO FIX.

1st check the breakers
2nd check wiring in back to see connections are secure.
3rd check element. It would be burned in two.
4th check thermal overload switch which is located underneath top of dryer. Easy to remove top. Probably 4-6 screws.

Hello , Sounds like your motor is over heating , it will run until the sensor shuts it down from getting to hot , it is most likley because the motor is covered in lint and needs cleaned. Hope that helps.

dryer will not start

what starts and stops? the entire dryer or maybe the drum? Do you do anything to make it restart other than pushing the start button? This initially sounds like a temperature switch is opening and resetting after it cools. If you can describe the problem a little more in detail it would help.
