Exactly like a circuit breaker would do. My ohmmeter shows continuity at "thermal cutoff" and "high limit thermostat" . Any help would really be appreciated.

Your issue sounds like your motors windings are going bad. If you hear these sounds or it takes a couple seconds holding the button to start you likely need to replace the motor.
