Problem
Dryer would start for a few minutes then cut off and would not turn on until a cooling off period. Then it would turn back on. The heat would also turn off after a few minutes before the dryer would shut off.

The hardest part was taking the fan off the blower motor and the only problem was that I was turning it the wrong way ..Its counterclockwise to take it off. other than that everything was easy peasy

Repair & Advice
Followed the many videos available online. It’s a multi step process. Not hard but time consuming. The new motor is beefier. Consider replacing slide bearings at same time, and the light bulb. My slide bearings were worn, ordered and opened a second time to replace.

Repair & Advice
My challenge was taking the fan off of the old motor. It turns out I was turning the wrong way based on a YouTube video I was watching. But all in all, the motor was pretty easy to replace.
