Sounds like you may have a bad circuit breaker or maybe a loose connection @ the main power connection @ the dryer.

Has anyone pulled the heating element out of the protective can and checked it for breaks anywhere in the curcuit.

You may have a broken heating element that periodically connects to ground causing it to heat sometimes when things are vibrating when running.

If you don't see anything that is obviously broken then your are going to have to learn to use an electrical test meter to find out where you are losing power to the element.
