Dryer turns off every 5-10 minutes. The lint (exhaust?) was clogged which I have completely cleaned out. Also made sure that the exhaust within the dryer itself is unobstructed. The dryer still kicks itself off every 5-10 minutes and we have to keep restarting it. I am sure there is probably a sensor that has went bad but trying to find out specifically.

will it restart right away or do you have to wait till it cools down????

Each time it shuts off we don't realize it until it has probably had a chance to cool down. Sometimes it shuts off in 5 minutes, sometimes it shuts off in 10, very spuratic. I can watch it very closely though if that makes a difference as to what the problem could be.

Take dryer apart and stick 115 volts to motor pins 4& 5, monitor current and see if it still shuts down. Also inspect motor for bad bearings.
