UPDATE – so I took out the motor run capacitor and tested that to make sure that wasn’t the issue, and that was fine. The new motor arrived and i installed that yesterday and that seems to of sorted the issue. So there must be some module/control board in there that has failed. The tumble dryer has completed 3 cycles now without stopping so it’s looking very promising 🙂
Is it worth taking the motor apart and looking inside?

This looks like the exact same motor, and the code matches the code on my motor, just alot cheaper than the fix part and other websites.
I unplugged the wires going into the motor, but nothing looked damaged/melted there. I’ll post some pics I took of the motor. After searching the part number on the motor I can get hold of a new genuine Samsung one for £88, so tempted to try it at that price? When trying a cycle last night, after it stopped and paused itself a couple of times it did bring up another 3C error again. Thanks, Chris
Had some spare time yesterday, so completely took the machine apart, and couldn’t see anything wrong anywhere. Gave it a good clean and put it all back together and it’s still doing the same. Will start a cycle but then after a random amount of time it will just stop, screen just shows the time remaining and stays on that time, sometimes after a bit it will carry on the cycle and then stop again, sometimes it will pause itself, when I press play it will sometimes carry on working for a bit, and other times it wont. It’s out of warranty, I didn’t ‘activate’ the 5 year warranty so I only got the standard 2 years which has now passed! I suppose the only way is to start throwing parts at it, assuming a part I buy and fit doesn’t fix the problem, could that part be returned – motor, pcb etc?
