I have a ge electric clothes dryer that runs for a few minutes then shuts off.I just replaced the start /stop switch,dryer seems to bog down some when starting, but then it runs OK ,could the belt possibly be loose. Thanks

Can you restart the dryer right after it turns off do you have to wait for a while? If you have to wait a while (1/2 hour or longer) then you may have a motor problem. You said that is bogs down when you turn it on, this is a symptom of a motor problem. Because it runs once you get it going then your blower should be clear.
