Dryer runs for a few seconds then stops. It starts to slow down then stops. It then makes a humming sounds and sounds as if something is preventing the drum from turning. If shut off right away then it will restart without waiting. Problem then repeats. If I wait to shut it off then it takes a few minutes to reset itself before starting.

I took apart the front and inspectd all the wheels and belt. Everything works find but at times it seems as the drum is sticking.
