If the unit stops and you have to wait several minutes before it will restart then odds are that the motor is overheating and tripping it's internal thermal protect.

Try turning the drum by hand. Should turn fairly easily. If not could be the drum is jammed for some reason. You may want to try this on a couple other dryers to get a feel for it.
If it is difficult to turn run your fingers around the back and front of the tub to machine seal. To see if something has jammed between the tub and frame (bra wires are famous for this). Be careful in case the object is something sharp.
If nothing is jammed in there you will have to open it up and find the cause.

Could also be that the motor is jammed solid with lint and this is preventing the Start/Run centrifugal switch from actuating. This will then keep the motor's start winding in circuit all the time and cause it to overheat.
