Try this it's straight from the service manual.

Runs a few minutes and then stops:
• Empty dryer.
• Check motor spins freely.
• Lint buildup around drive motor.
• Low voltage present.
• Blower impeller blocked in blower housing.
• Drive motor - start switch contacts stuck closed.

i have already tried all of them even tried to clear service codes ,console switch test and the service cycle test. but while i'm going through the steps all lights around cycle knob will blink and knocks me out of service mode. the cycle will go back to regular cycle dryer will run a few minutes and stop again.

I'm not sure, usually if it was from the storm it would have been an immediate issue.
If you've checked everything and it won't go into diagnostics, I'd have to say it's probably the control board.
