If it's working for a while then shutting off, sounds like thermal overload.
I'd recommend replacing the heating element depending on the age of the dryer.
It could also be:
The cable or plug
The interference suppressor
The main drum motor or fan motor
The control panel
The motor starter capacitor
An issue with the wiring, e.g. the wires are worn or melted
Condenser dryers are simple in operation. They use a heater element to force hot air to heat the clothes and turn the water to steam. That steam is turned back into water by drawing cold air into the machine and over the heat exchanger unit and into the drum. The problems with them is that they are slow to dry.
Your best bet is to call for service, and the problem is likely the sensor probe or one of the thermal cut out.
Common faults - 1 Theheating elementscan fail
(meaning open circuit) 2 There arecut-outs (T.O.C's)that
might need resetting 3 Thethermostats (stats)can trip
out or burn out (meaning opencircuit) 4 Moderntumble dryers also have sensors andpcb's (Printed circuitboards)thesehave
programs that can fail and circuitry although most should produce an errorcode
showing you were the fault is. 5 Faultyconnections and burned wires may also be
the fault.
