Default G E dryer woes

I have a GE dryer that stops turning once it gets warm....The element stays
on but the drum stops turning until it cools off...Is there an overheat
switch or something that is easy to replace?....Mark

I sounds like a grouned heating element. One way to test this is to set the
timer to where you normally would, don't start the dryer. Open the door and
press and hold the door switch button. If you see a glow then most likely
the heater is grounded and needs to be replaced.
