sound like the motor is over heating. Is there a grawling sound when you start the dryer

ERIC;do you suppose, the little thermal overload in side the motor is too sensative and trips out early? It's rare but I've seen it happen a couple times,changed the internal overolad and solved problem once or twice, or windings are bad and tripping the breaker,like it's supposed to,just an opinion
