our dryer will only work for (depending on temp setting) 10 -30 minutes I have replaced the lent fliter, and cheecked the fuses with an ohm meter all apperar to have contnuity. the dryer just shuts off after a while seems to be working fine while its working, but will shut off and then not start for a little time after.

Something is obviously overheating. When it cools down it will run again. The fuses have nothing to do with a fault like that, they either work or they are blown. Not familiar with this model but would suggest you check motor to see how hot it feels when the dryer stops because it probably has a thermal cutout in it. Failing that look for an overheat thermostat & check if it has continuity at time that dryer stops. Look for any airflow restriction which may be causing it to overheat.
