this means the motor overload is kicking off. once it cools it resets and you are able to restart the dryer. it means the motor is bad and overheating. the motor needs to be replaced. heres a link to order the motor and theres a video there to show you how to replace it. http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Drive-Motor/131560100/407697?modelNumber=GLER642AS3 thanks and best wishes, Bryan
