My dryer is making a funny noise and will eventually stop from what I believe is the thermal protection kicking in. I believe it is a bad motor but need an expert opinion.
Rather than go into long detail I have put my issue in a video. I would sure appreciate if you would watch it and give me your opinion.

I would check the blower just to be sure it is not rubbing on anything, you are going to have to take this apart anyway so just do it before ordering anything.
