Once u push the start button it will run 25 min or so and stop, push the start button again and again it sound if it's dragging, wait 30 to 45 min. it will start and run another 25 min or so and stop, also I forgot to mention you're hearing a loud humming noise while it running. From what I've been reading in the forum I believe it's the main motor or the motor switch. Someone told me it could be the relay, but again I'm not sure. Your help or input would be greatly appreciated.

The most likely problem is the motor which is in the process of becoming deceased. The reason it stops is that it heats up, and a thermal protection kicks in. After it cools down it allows you to start the machine again.

I am afraid a trip to Mr. Dryer Store is in your future, given the age of the machine and cost of replacing the motor.

Good luck and let us know what you decide to do.
