I'm having iisues with my Kenmore Electric Dryer. It will sometimes start and run for 5-20 minutes but then just stops. At this time and other times, when I try to start it, it will give me an electric noise like the capacitor is not working. When it runs, I get heat. I will be checking on the motor to see if it is seezing up but my initial thought was the capacitor. Any and all suggestions are most appreciated.

There are no motor capacitors used in dryers, so most likely the problem is a bad motor.
