My dryer is pretty squeeky as its spins what would that be ? My biggest problem with it is after running it for a bit ( 10 minutes or so ) it trips the breaker in my wall and have replaced the breaker . Could it be a heating element ? And how do i get parts ?

Why does my GE Dryer trip the main breaker after about 10 minutes of being on?

If it smalls 'fishy', it is overheating at the motor windings. That would not cause the dryers thermal fuses to trip. Dryers don't normally have an internal breaker. Remove the motor, strip and clean it. Lubricate the bearings. It should spin very freely.

My kenmore 80 series dryer kept tripping the breaker after running for 5-10 minutes then so I opened the lint trap a little bit and it ran a complete cycle someone please help?

Not clear what you mean by "opened the lint trap a little" but you might want to make sure that your exhaust duct is completely clear of lint or obstructions.

Keeps tripping the breaker after running for about 10 minutes or longer. I have tried running it on air only and it does not trip the breaker.

Obviously your heating element is drawing too much current for some reason. I recommend you stop trying to run it with the heater.

My dryer tries to spin the drum when you push the start button but seems like it's having a hard time. If I spin it by hand it will start and run for about 5 to 10 minutes then shuts off and seems to

I would first check the belt, then check the belt tensioner, and finally the wheels the drum rolls on. You will find a worn belt, or worn or out of adjustment tensioner, or wheels that are worn at their axels. GOOD LUCK FRIEND.

Circuit breaker trips after 10 minutes

could be a weak breaker,or poor high resistance connection from panel to dryer plug, then have someone check the current draw on the dryer while operating and see if it's within specs of the machine tag, if it's higher than that you may have a defective motor or heating element to case causing a higher than normal current draw

Kenmore Series 80 (110.74882401) heat cycles on only for 10 secs

This is a pretty easy fix and I recently had the same problem. I made a quick video about it. The problem was the dryer was run only a few mins then quit. The dryer limit was tripping because the control thermostat was not shutting down the lower safety limit was tripping and the power from the control thermostat was diverted via the orange wire to the timer motor which kinda caused the main motor to stop. When i ran the dryer in NO HEAT the dryer stayed running and that was my clue as to what may of been happening and that was the problem in a nutshell. My video:

Zanussi ZWD1680W Front Load All-in-One... Problem:

With the symptoms you describe i would suspect a intermittent heater element fault as you are getting earth leakage current which is tripping the whole supply rather than a current overload which would just trip the socket circuit breaker. Get the heating element checked over first as this is the most likely cause.

HE4 Kenmore Dryer tripping Circuit Breaker

If you put a light load in the dryer will not trip the circuit at all. That means heavy load made the motor work harder and over heat, it going to trip the circuit , pretty soon, the motor will be warn out.
