G.E. DRYER MOD. DCVH680EJ1MS stops after running 2 minutes in heat cycles only ,but can be started back up only to stop after another 2 minutes. Dryer will run fine in non heat cycles.What's up with that?
Thanks,
Jim
Is this a good question?

@kjim check the cycling thermostat (outlet thermistor). It cycles the heat on and off to maintain the proper temperature. If the thermostat is defective, it may keep the heat on too long, causing the dryer to get too hot and to shut down. You can test the thermostat by using a multimeter to check it for continuity. If it does not have continuity, replace it. You also want to check the outlet thermistor resistance to make sure that it is good. The resistance at 69 degrees would be 118k-122K ohms, at 77 degrees would be 98K to 102K ohms and at 86 degrees would be 78k to 82K ohms of resistance. If the thermistor does not fall into these ranges then the thermistor would be faulty and need to be replaced.

I'll check them and let you know .

Does the drum rotate fine? Are there any abnormal sounds? If it seems to be working fine mechanically, look into checking the heating element or control panel. Usually if the heating element fails, the dryer will keep working and your clothes will just not be dry when the cycle completes. Try watching some repair videos for your model dryer on appliancepartpros.com or repairclinic.com

Shut down? My ge profile dryer does not shut down but pauses mid cycle. Any thoughts?

Hi @Mark Narvaez,
What is the model number of the dryer?
Does it do this on all drying cycle options?
Does it start up again after the pause interval? If so is the length of the pause the same every time?
