    It sounds like something is causing the dryer to drop its holding circuit.
    I would check for loose wires at any location, also check to make sure your door is closing properly, and that the door switch is actuating properly.

    It may be a loose connection at the timer, start button, door switch, etc, any of those can cause a dryer to stop operating during a dry cycle.
