Sounds like the motor is bad or the motor bearings are bad. This will create more resistance and will therefore create more current in the circuit. More current in the circuit will cause the overload to trip. This is for safety to prevent excess heat building up in the circuit which could cause a fire.

Your Kenmore dryer timer may not be working properly due to a faulty timer motor, a broken timer knob, or a malfunctioning timer switch. It is recommended to consult a professional technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
The hair dryer makes a whirring or buzzing sound as its motor operates.
The motor is housed at the back of the hair dryer just behind the vent.
Could be a bearing, could be a motor, could be something (like a sock) caught up in there...tough to say without opening her up!
It moves a fan. The fan is what causes the airflow in the hair dryer.
I am betting on a Ge or Kenmore unit built by GE. It has a real motor.
Part # 3390291 on a whirlpool (or kenmore, or maytag) dryer is the hi-temp thermostat. It sits next to part #3977394 Thermal cut off on the outside shell surrounding the heating element (the kit including both is kit# 279816) . The full thermostat #3387134 sits next to the thermal fuse on top of the blower motor.
To test a dryer motor, you can use a multimeter to check for continuity in the motor windings. You can also visually inspect the motor for any signs of damage or wear. Additionally, you can test the motor's start switch and thermal fuse for proper functioning.
A blow-dryer typically uses electrical energy to power its motor and heating element.
Yes, if you're talking about the general home clothes dryer. They're in the motor and relay/servo units.
Evap fan motor not running or controller board is bad.
