Hi,

Kenmore Dryers 80 series

Not a model#, just a name.

Some model# helps.

someone told me that if the dryer is shutting off with no
pattern---runs for 30 min...shuts off...runs for 5 minutes ...shuts
off.........then try to connect the 2 blue wires together in the
back...???

-Sounds- like a good way to go BOOM!

Can/could they not find out something for you?

runs for 30 min...shuts off...runs for 5 minutes ...shuts
off

Depending on the model/style of the dryer, some possible trouble
makers:
- loose power wire
- bad motor
- bad relay ( if used )
- gremlins
- lint built up on/in the motor
