The Kenmore 80 electric dryer starts when you push the button but after a few minutes cuts off and won't start again for a day or two. I checked the vent. I also checked the wiring and it is intact. The dryer might be from 1986. Could it be the thermostat or is it something else that can be fixed by me or by someone who knows what they're doing or do I need to get a new dryer.
You can check the high temp thermostat by removing the back panel,it is located on the heater box,remove both wires,put your meter on omns and if you don't get a reading it's bad,if it checks good then the motor is bad,it is overheating and cutting off,let me know what you find-mike
