Model LES19AW Speed Queen

This is a speed queen electric dryer. When you start the dryer, it has a very slow start (like it's struggling, but going). It then runs ok for short time. Then after 10 minutes, it just stops.
Any help/guidance is much appreciated!!!!!

Here are your parts.

When it stops can, you restart it right away or do you have to wait for a while?

It sounds like your motor is overheating. It has an internal thermal cutoff which opens and then resets once the motor cools down some.

Could be the motor is just overloaded re: the drum has too much drag for some reason. Try turning the drum by hand, it should rotate fairly easily.
If not open it up and find out why.

Here is a good link with basic info.
