    Have you checked the free air flow out of the dryer? If not sufficient air can flow through the dryer, the temperature goes up and the thermostat cuts out.
    .
    Are you sure that the dryer is not just running in energy saving mode?
    .
    In that mode the drum and heater cut off for a couple of seconds every ten or so seconds during the drying cycle. That is normal and intended : the water inside the clothing can still evaporate, while no energy is required for motor and heater.
    For more advice I need more details!

    :rolleyes:
