dryer runs about 45 min(even empty) stops spinning... timer ticks and moves re starts itself after about 10 min(without pushing start again) and finishes cycle. was very linty. vacced all out but still does.. seeing that timer still operates and re starts on ownseems like something thinking over heat????? will thermal fuse auto reset? or just blow? and will that still keep timer going? thanks

If it will not start right after it fails, probably a bad motor. AP3094245

There is a thermal cutout in the motor that trips if it overheats and will auto reset once the motor cools down, maybe 20 minutes.
