A few reasons why your dryer is malfunctioning mid cycle are:

Dryer overheating

If your dryer stops working during a cycle, it could mean that it is working too hard and overheating itself. Dryers can sometimes overheat due to clogged dryer vent. If you think this may be the problem, it is best to get your vent cleaned out quickly. Another reason for overheating could be a faulty dryer motor. The motor is the heart of your dryer, and if it has issues overheating, it may be time to call your local service provider to address this issues before it gets any worse. 

Defective moisture sensor

Another common issue with dryers that keep stopping abruptly is a defective moisture sensor. Your moisture sensor is what signals to the dryer that your clothes are fully dried are the process has completed. Problems with this sensor can stop your dryer at any time during the cycle. Issues involving dryer parts should immediately be diagnosed by an expert appliance repair service such as Immediate Appliance. 

Circuit breaker tripping

A widely popular reason that dryers sometimes stop mid cycle would be your circuit breaker tripping. This can turn out to be an easy fix if there are no underlying electrical issues. Your dryer needs a certain amount of power to operate at full capacity. If you think this may be the issue, resetting your circuit breaker should do the trick, but if it happens repeatedly, it may be time to contact your electrician to give you the best estimation.
