Here are your parts

Sounds like your motor may be overheating and tripping it's internal thermal cutout.

Can you restart it as soon as it shuts off?
OR
Do you have to wait a few minutes?

Try rotating the drum by hand, it should rotate fairly easily.

That does sound like a motor overheating.

Perhaps try rotating the drum on a couple other units to get a feel for how much resistance the drum should have.

Open it up and check that the drum glides etc are OK.
Check that the motor is not heavily clogged up with lint.

Note: this usually ends up needing a new motor.
