There is a difference between gas vs. electric heated ones. We have always had gas. The motor could be getting over heated. It seems odd that the motor would overheat initially and then later run without getting overheated. Why the difference? I assume the dryer heats OK. There are sensors monitoring the heat flowing to the clothes and those can shut it down too. If it is still chugging along that's good. If you need to play games with it every time that would get old. thankslislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-50581153079365835612013-09-24T07:18:27.029-05:002013-09-24T07:18:27.029-05:00My dryer started stopping after a minute or so and...My dryer started stopping after a minute or so and then it had to cool for another couple of minutes before I could re-start it and finish the load. The dryer repair took it apart, said the motor is wearing out and advised against fixing it. He suggested I just use it until it died completely and then get a new one. That was a couple of years ago, and it's still chugging along.Secret Agent Womanhttp://biredux.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-33917759065716618052013-09-23T21:57:32.586-05:002013-09-23T21:57:32.586-05:00thanks - it was a nice surprise to find such usefu...thanks - it was a nice surprise to find such useful info on youtube.lislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-89508274893248466032013-09-23T21:30:44.236-05:002013-09-23T21:30:44.236-05:00Way to go!!

Great story and great way to show them responsibility. It also made them more aware than most of the workings of a dryer. thanks for sharing - I enjoyed it.lislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-50337130309700418042013-09-22T13:45:00.606-05:002013-09-22T13:45:00.606-05:00Believe me I will not try all of them.

So you need to draw the line as they say. You get lucky at times and the problem is simple like a chipmunk in the blower fan (not kidding you). In this case I really didn't see a downside other than time spent in trying to fix it. If I failed I would have called someone or bought a new one. Either way that would have been much more expensive so why not try. There many fixes that need special tools or can be dangerous but the dryer just needs to be disconnected from the power. Those youtube videos are very helpful. thankslislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-78067828666902514212013-09-22T13:31:54.649-05:002013-09-22T13:31:54.649-05:00no but check the video I linked to. There are man...no but check the video I linked to. There are many videos about repairs. Squealing might be fixed by clean it out good with a vacuum cleaner. Be sure to unplug it. thankslislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-68946381928083586832013-09-22T13:24:49.875-05:002013-09-22T13:24:49.875-05:00I understand your fearlessness as you seem to know...I understand your fearlessness as you seem to know what you are doing but over here...we don't ever touch appliances that are being difficult.
