Default Dryer Stops Running
Brand: Whirlpool
Model Number: LGR4634JQ2
Age: 5 - 10 years

The gas dryer starts up fine and lights the fire. After a few minutes it stops completely. After it cools down for 15 minutes or so it starts up just fine. The dryer will keep running on small loads but not larger loads. The drum turns easily on new rollers. I am thinking the motor is overheating. Any way to check this out or are there other possibilities?

That would be correct. Your motor is overheating. Tom ApplianceEducator.com
