Replaced heating element about a month ago and ran well.Recently after about 10 minutes the dryer turns off.Also mild squealing sound(Belt?)The pushbutton to start also wont start the dryer at times.Not sure if worth putting $ into it or just replacing the dryer.
Not sure if its an Thermostat problem or a starter switch problem.
Any help please let me know. Greatly appreciate the info

Here are your parts Bulkhead replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL LE5750XFW0 | AppliancePartsPros.com
Recently after about 10 minutes the dryer turns off. If you have to wait several minutes for it to restart, sounds like the motor is overheating and tripping it's internal thermal protect. Also mild squealing sound(Belt?) More likely a rear roller, an idler roller, front glide or motor bearings. The pushbutton to start also wont start the dryer at times. Does it make any noise at all? If it buzzes this is the motor trying to start. Not sure if its an Thermostat problem or a starter switch problem. My guess would be a motor problem. Could be the starter switch for the start problem but not for shutting off by itself. The thermostat cannot shut the motor off. I would try rotating the drum by hand, it should turn fairly easily. Perhaps is is jammed and is overloading the motor. Here is a good site http://www.applianceaid.com/dryers.html |

No if a fuse is blown it is blown so the unit would never start. |
