Glen, Sounds like an overheating motor, Part number: AP4029141 you may want to replace the drum belt, as well, Part number: AP4049271 You will also need to check and clean the exhaust, and venting for holes and loose fitting parts. (that's what usually causes the problem, lint in or on the motor). Good Luck, :) :) :)
