Default Dryer shuts off, possible overheating?
Brand: Magic Chef
Model Number: YE225LV
Age: 5 - 10 years

Recently started shutting off. I think it might be overheating. I pulled it away from the wall and check to make sure the exhaust was clear and it was. There was a slight burning odor. When I plugged it back in it would not start. I popped the top and don't see anything suspicious.
Thanks,
Benny

I pulled the thing apart and whole front section was clogged with lint and god knows what else. I even found one of my old sockets that must have been in a pocket. I cleaned it out real good and put it back together. Seems to be working fine now. We'll see.

Got home today and dryer is at it again. It shuts off mid cycle and then will not turn on again. After it sits for a little while it will turn back on.
