I have an older Kenmore (Whirlpool) gas dryer that runs for anout 10-20 minutes then shuts off. If I wait a few minutes, it will restart and run for 10-20 minutes more. I replaced the fixed high limit thermostat but that wasn't the problem. Any suggestions as to which part needs to be replaced?

Sounds like the motor has gone bad. What is the complete model number of the dryer?

Kenmore 76822692
I replaced the motor about 2 months ago. It was supposed to be a new motor. This started happening about a week ago.

Where did you buy the motor from? What was the part warranty?

I bought it from a store on ******** about 3 months ago so the warranty is up. From your suggestion that it was the motor, I ended up buying another motor and installing it. Now the dryer runs full cycle. Thanks.

You are welcome. I hope you bought it this time from Appliance Parts Pros because they guaranteed parts for a whole year from the purchase date.
