It could be the drum bearings are seizing or something is causing it to jam.

If this is the case the motor would work too hard and draw too much current and consequently would cut out for a time and then reset.

Removing the drivebelt and turning the drum by hand would show if this is probable.

Looks you have aleakage of grease form a damaged bearing in the drum.
If you have the technical preparation, you should remove the drum and check those bearing. See some interesting youtube videos about issue:
