Most likely causes
When we get service calls in Brooklyn and Manhattan for this issue, one of these is almost always the culprit:
- Overheating from a blocked vent triggering the high-limit thermostat
- Failed door switch losing contact intermittently
- Motor overheating and resetting
- Failed control board
What to check before calling a professional
Work through these in order. If none resolves the problem, it's time to schedule service.
- Clean the full vent path first
- Wiggle the door while running to test the switch
- Note whether the drum is hot when it stops — heat means the thermostat is doing its job protecting the machine
