So guys...this is one of my "daily drivers" in the winter. The last couple of loads I have done, when I pass by the dryer, it is no longer tumbling, but the pump (for the condensation) is still running. Also...the dryer is extremely hot.
So I take out the water reservoir, open the door and let things cool down (20 mins), then it works again. Any ideas? |

Your dryer is overheating. The motor drives the drum and the blower. Either the electrical connection is loose or the motor has shorted in the windings. |

Also it may be a good idea to remove all filters and give them a scrub with hot water and dish soap or do what I do and stick them in the dishwasher :o) I have been known to put the condenser in the DW as well if really gunged up. You may want to see if the stats in the filter area need a wipe to remove build up as that can cause the issues you are experiencing.
