call a technician as it could be a control board problem or a start run capacitor that is over loading the electrical side and throwing the thermal overload switch

Hello;

My name is Peter. I have often wondered that myself about the Knight and others.

When I answer questions I identify myself. I am a retired field service appliance and refrigeration technician holding both a State of Maryland Contractors License and a Federal EPA Certification for refrigeration.

When you got into this website, you need to check the respondent.

Too often I have gone in to answer questions and found the knight and others, which base on my over 30 years of experience were absolutely wrong and may have cause dangerous situations and viewer excessive expenditures.

The Knight, like others on this web sit can accumulate points by answering a question without knowledge.

I am not at the top of the adviser list like the knight, because if it is not in my area of experience I will not answer a question just to build up points.
I do not care about the points or my ranking. I just like to help people avoid a expensive repair bill by replacing a $12.00 part.

I think the website manager should require the respondent to state their experience in the field prior to answering the question.

On most clothes dryers, whether gas or electric, the drum is rotated by a belt, which runs off a motor. The most common reason for it not to tumble is that the belt has broken.Someone needs to replace that belt. If, however, when you start it up , you do not hear a humming sound whilst pressing your ear to the top of the machine, the motor itself may not be turning, which could also be the problem. Be blessed.

You may have a short in the system, make sure your breaker is rated high enough to support the dryer

Disconnect the electric heating element from the board on the back. Replace fuses see if it will run on gas now. If it will your heating element needs to be replaced.
