I can smell something burning. I cleaned the entire dryer inside and out including the motor. The motor was completely surrounded by lint, I was able to run it after the cleaning for about 10 minutes. Also, for some reason it shuts down when the timer reaches 10 minutes, not sure is this has something to do with it. Im thinking is the motor. Can it be the thermal fuse or thermostat? Thank you.
