Dryer switches on and runs 5-10 min depending on cycle then shuts down, can restart in 5 min. seems to be overheating, but I don't know the cause. I have dismantled it and cleaned everything spotless. When reassembled it ran a bit longer on a given cycle but still shut down. When my hand is in front of the vent there seems to be brief pauses in the air flow, it does not totaly stop but it definately slows then speeds up, the drum rotates fine. Any help would be appreciated.

If the motor shuts down, and you have to wait for it to come on, you need to replace the motor. If you need me you can reach me at my web site at ApplianceEducator.com Tom
