If the motor gets hot or draws to many amps it will kill the power to the motor. The overload will reset itself after awhile. The motor could be full of lint, but I would guess for the short amount of time it runs before cutting out it has a bad bearing or start winding. You could open the dryer up and check for lint build up. Clean the lint out and try it again, but I'm guessing you will need to replace the motor to repair it.
