I'm having a problem with my '56 Filtrator dryer. First off I have to give the drum a "boost" before the motor will start. It now starts and runs for 5 to 7 minutes and shuts off. What would cause this and what should I do to correct it. Thanks for any help.

Most US Home Laundry Motors Are Split-phase Induction Motors They use a separate start winding usually controlled by a centrifugal start switch with some using a magnetic relay.
They use this type of motor for its high starting torque, they are also reliable and quiet running, major down side is very high current consumption.
90% of AWs, dryers and even wringer washers built over the last 80+ years use this type of motor, maybe about 10% also had an added start capacitor to add even a little more starting torque.
