Dryer Shuts off and won't restart until cool

So I have a Kenmore 90 series dryer. I recently replaced all of the rollers because they were shot and one roller had completely fallen off. While I was in there I vacuumed all of the dust out of everything. After that repair my dryer will now sometimes stop mid cycle. After stopping, it will not restart for a while until it cools down. This also happens if I open the door mid cycle - it then will not restart until it cools down. I just took it apart again and tested the continuity on the 2 thermostats (one on the exhaust and one on the heating element area) when cold and when hot and they seem to be functioning correctly. I also checked the continuity on the 2 fuses (one next to each thermostat). The motor spins very smoothly and I got most of the dust out of it with the vacuum so I don’t think there is any added friction there. What is my next step to diagnose this dryer? I’m thinking maybe it’s the motor overheating - how would I figure out if that is the issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Did you figure out what the problem was by chance? Mine is doing the exact same thing.

It could be the safety switch on the door latch, maybe as the dryer heats up, the switch warps and looses contact, the dryer then acts as if the door were open?

I'll see if I figure out how to jump it and give it a shot. Thanks
