I know I’m late to this as my sister has a GE Dryer that shuts off at about 10 minutes. I will link an article I found for future reference at the bottom. But in short, there are several problems that can cause this issue in GE Dryers. The list of problems might not cover everything and there could be more things causing the problems. One thing I will add is to first check the exhaust hose to make sure there isn’t a clog or kink in the hose. If you have never check that in years there could be a a build up of lint causing a restricted flow and overheating the dryer. Next, if you have a through wall vent, check that. Some have a hinged flapper door that will open when the dryer is running. It keeps the critters from getting inside the house. Check to make sure that the door is not stuck and freely moving. If it is stiff moving, the exhaust air might not be opening the vent enough and causing the Dryer to overheat and shut down in about 10 minutes. If there is a cage or screen over that opening it can get clogged too with lint or other stuff. That lint trap doesn’t catch all that lint or other stuff like pet hair or paper if it got washed and shredded. That kind of stuff will dry out and can find it’s way to the hose too or get stuck in a vent screen cover.

Some have a hinged flapper door that will open when the dryer is running. It keeps the critters from getting inside the house. Check to make sure that the door is not stuck and freely moving. Also make sure there are no plants that are blocking the door from opening. If it is stiff moving, the exhaust air might not be opening the vent enough and causing the Dryer to overheat and shut down in about 10 minutes. If there is a cage or screen over that opening it can get clogged too with lint or other stuff. If it is a stiff or stuck moving flapper door, some light oil might get it moving freely. But that is a temporary fix and that should be replaced. That lint trap doesn’t catch all that lint or other stuff like pet hair or paper if it got washed and shredded. That kind of stuff will dry out and can find it’s way to the hose too or get stuck in a vent screen cover.
Today, for some reason, companies are putting these stupid computer chips in everything and the younger generation all seem to be super turned on by electronic crap that is not needed. Like a wireless or Bluetooth connection to either a device like an Alexia or a stupid cell phone to turn on/off appliances, to let you know when it is done, or to replace the older mechanical parts that did the job far better and lasted longer. So if you have a newer dryer or appliance, it could be any number of electronics, relays, computer chips, a connection, a corroded connection or other electronic wiz bangs that have gone bad or are going bad that are causing the problem. I’m not sure if these companies are doing this intentionally, knowing they will fail and you will be forced to by another expensive appliance or part or they think these computer chips will make things better. Another problem is that many once made in America appliances are now being made cheaply in China. American companies are now looking at the profits and have mostly lost their pride in building a good product, they just don’t care about their company name or the quality of their products as the electronic parts and labor are cheaper in China. Not that it makes the appliance any cheaper for you, it just makes more money for them. Anyway here is the link to a list of common problems and fixes: https://applianceexpresstx.com/dryer-repair/dryer-shuts-off-after-a-few-minutes/
Still another problem with these new appliances is that many are brainwashed believing in this saving the planet money making scam BS. Like with these fake expensive High Efficiency washing machines that you also need to clean with some special cleaner. They are not very efficient or save any water, if you have to wash or rinse your clothes 2 or 3 times or more to get them clean. They brake down far more than the older washers and never really get a real working persons clothes clean. These HE machines are much harder on clothing fabric too and will put holes or small tears in them so you need to buy new clothes too! Boy have these companies latched on to this big money making scam! And stupid people buy into junk science this hook, line and sinker! To those that do, you deserve to get taken to the cleaners and get your bank accounts cleaned out!
