The dryer will not start, it seems to hum. Sometimes you can get the dryer to start, and when you put a small load into it, it will not start? The dryer tub moves freely by hand.

Hi,

There can be many reasons why your dryer will not start or turn...

The most common causes are the belt breaking or jumping off, or the motor goingbad...

Here are a couple of tips that I wrote will help you to figure out why yourdryer will not run...

check the blower wheel sometimes objects get caught in it not allowing it to spin. If it is clean open the dryer door push and hold the door switch and push start while it is humming rotate the drum. if it starts to spin then you need a new motor it will run you probably 150 - 200 dollars

motor overheating,motor will have to be replaced

one  make sure you advance the timer into the heating area of the cycle if you did that and turned it on and still humming you  have a bad motor

hate to be the bearer of bad news but it sounds like ur motor is going out. Had this happen to my last dryer. If this is the case it will eventually just stop. Try running it without any laundry in it. if this works, then load it and see if it still works. (poor little motor has to work a bit harder with a full load) good luck.

If I was Karmac I could read your mind and get the model number, probably give a better answer.

if the motor buzzes when you push start then it is a bad motor.as long as the drum turns freely by hand.

you need to replace the motor

the motor needs to be replaced. the bearing are going bad and they are only sold as the whole motor

THE HUMMING IS THE WATER VALVE WHICH IS OK,CHECK WATER PRESURE AND FILTERS IT MAY BE DOOR INTERLOCK
