Sounds like the motor is overheating. It then trips it’s internal protect and you have to wait for the motor to cool down (protect reset) before it will start.

Try turning the drum in the correct direction by hand to see if perhaps there is too much drag on it. It should turn fairly easily. You may want to try this on a couple other units to get a feel for it.

Open the unit up and check/clean the motor etc., in case it is not cooling correctly.

If all is OK then the motor itself is often the cause.
