Lightbulb Maytag Performa Dryer Keeps Shutting Off
Model Number: PYE2300AYW   Brand: Maytag   Age: 5 - 10 years   

I have replaced the timer switch and put on a new thermostat kit. The dryer immediately came on like it should but it will only run for about 5 minutes and then it kicks off. The termostat is turning the heating element on and off so I know the termostat is working. What now could be making the dryer turn off after about 5 minutes?

try it with the rear vent disconnected, see how long it runs.

see if there's good air-flow
