Ok I’m having a hard time figuring this one out….
Symptoms;
Dryer started to turn itself off between cycles. ( power off and no display or response) after about 20 -25 min later pressing the power button allows the unit to come back on and a new cycle can be selected. Can run a timed cycle for 40 min on extra low and will complete the cycle …. But after completing cycle shuts off and will not power on.
Wait 20min and it will allow another cycle to start but will only run for 15- on med heat
Wait 20-25 min will allow u to start another cycle.

Steps taken:
Cleaned the line all the way to the roof and yes there was some obstruction( it is as clean as a whistle now and I can even feel the outside air in the lint capture area. Did not fix the issue. Checked the continuity of the heating coil ( checks out) checked and replaced the high side thermostat( just in case since it was a cheap enough part at $20) No luck. Replaced the whole motor assembly that included the motor the fan and the thermostor etc….. Still no change in behavior. I think new motor is showing the same signs of overheating as well as it has the exact same result. Checked the voltage at the plugs connection ( 4 prong) ran a cycle and watched … was at 240ish the whole time but when it cut out it seemed to spike. ( flashed to quickly to read)
Thoughts?
