dryer stopping before time is up. Does not start right away. Takes a few minutes before it will start again. Run time varies.

Sounds like overheating

Could not find a wiring diagram so have to do some guessing

Self resetting thermal cutout
Check your venting
Clean it and make sure the outside vent is operating correctly
Usually though, this just disconnects the heater

Motor overload protector
Manually rotate your drum
It should rotate fairly easily
If not then you have to find the cause
Could be: support rollers, felt drum seals, something stuck between drum and drum sealing felts, belt idler roller, motor bearings and probably some I have not included
Also could be just a motor clogged with lint causing overheating
This will disconnect the heater and the motor

Don't need a wiring diagram, just replace the motor. If you need me to walk you through the repair, I can be reached at T. PAONE's APPLIANCE SALES & SERVICE GUIDE Tom
