Dryer shuts off after a minute or so

I start the dryer and within a minute it shuts off. When I try restarting, it operates erratically and stops again. We I try to restart it does not start at all. If I wait a period of time, it restarts but then shuts off. Cold it be a thermostat related.

Why does the dryer cut off after approx 5 minutes

Dryer: Starts then stops. If an electric dryer starts but then stops before the load is dry, a clogged exhaust vent may have caused the dryer to overheat and trip the thermal fuse. ... A bad drive motor, failed timer or faulty electronic control board can also stop the dryer before the cycle ends.

Kenmore 6651303 dishwasher

Possible that the fault seems to be malfunction on the PROGRAM CONTROLLER UNIT. You need to remove and check for loose joints or connectors.check for moisture within the board which could cause this erratic operation. if so use a hair dryer to warm .
If this wont work the control panel must be removed and checked or replaced.

Electric dryer keeps stopping

Most likely, the operating thermostat has failed, and the high limit thermostat turns off the dryer when it gets too hot. When it cools down, it will start again.
