Replace The High Limit Disc.

it is over heating you might have unplugged a wire to the thermostat when you had it apart or the thermostat has went out.

what is your model number is then we can get started then okay

why does my roper electric dryer shut off after five or ten minutes of running fine. then wait five or ten minutes, restart and it runs fine for another five or ten minutes, and so on....

Hi,
Usually a motor that runs for a short time and shuts off is a bad motor. Cleaning it will usually not help. Replacing the motor is the best solution. Hope this helps.

You will need to replace the timer control.

It is possible your Cycling Themostat is not working properly. It determines at what temperature to turn heat on and off to maintain a consistent dryer temp. The High Limit Thermostat would turn off the heat but your dryer would still run. That leaves the Thermal Cut Off which is turning off your dryer. It might be faulty and turning off at too low a temp, or it might be doing it's job. In that case something else is wrong. If you can check the exhaust air temperature at the dryer, it should be under 175 degrees. If you are absolutely sure the vent is clear, then replace the Dryer Cycling Thermostat.

first check your venting. if you have backed up lint then it will not heat as well. if it's not your venting i would check to see if your heating element is broken and shorted to the casing..some times it will still heat if the coils weld themselves to the casing...if the heating element looks good then i would turn to your electrical.

THE KENMORE DRYER I HAVE... IF REN IN THE COTTON CYCLE IT WILL RUN FOR 50 MINUTES AND SHUT OFF. ITS BOLWING HOT AIR AND THE OTHER CYCLES SEEM TO WORK FINE WITH OUT SHUTING DOWN SO ID APPRECIATE A TIP ON WHAT THIS PROBLEM COULD BE
