[DRGNLDY]

My dryers turns on and works fine for about 10min then stops drying and shuts off after a few minutes I will turn back on and continue drying I have no ideas on what is causing this or how to fix it. It is a Kenmore (electric) dryer Model: 66611690

Have you checked the lint traps and duct work? It sounds like they may be clogged and causing heat buildup.

Driers will do that when the lint builds up like concrete on the inside of the air ducts and the lubrication dries up, plus you have a safety that is opening and closing when it cools down. It’s so full of dirt the next thing it will do is to catch on fire and burn down your house. Also, the sensors get blocked from sensing when the dryer is dirty. You have to totally tear it down piece by piece. Halfway cleaning it will not work because all it takes is one clogged up air passage or dirty sensor. You need to totally tear it down and scrape out and wash all of the parts except the motor, which you vacuum out. You can go to YouTube to see videos on how to take it apart, but do a very good job or it will fail again quickly. I would get a new belt and change it while you have it apart and get some white lithium grease and grease any bearings you find. The support rollers are greased by pulling the pin and greasing it and greasing the inside of the roller. You need to clean out a drier every two years, at least, according to the manual. You just unplug the wires from the sensors and remove ductwork that they are attached on and clean the entire thing with soap and water. Make sure you go all through the dryer and get all parts like the blower fan and housing (it has to be scrubbed and washed out), vacuum out motor well and clean exhaust. Mark all wires you unplug so you know where they go. If you leave any dirt in the ducts it will blow another fuse quickly or will not maintain the temperature correctly. This is an easier job than you would think. Make sure to clean around all of the sensors, if it has them. Also, change the belt while you have it torn down so you won’t be doing it later.

You want to check your safeties when you get it cleaned out, plus if your model has thermistors you want to check the resistance against the temperature-resistance chart in one of the manuals. One could be bad but you cannot check them until it is clean.
