Bought it today from Home Depot. Installed new power cord, first time I pushed start it gave off a burning smell, and in 20 seconds it tripped the circut. I double checked my connections and turned it on again. This time it ran. We left the house 15 minutes later and came back in aproximately TWO HOURS. The clothes were very very warm as was the unit! Even after being idol for this long. We put in a new load of we clothes and pushed start...nothing. Ciricut did not trip. What could be wrong?

Could be the motor or belt, tilt the machine backwards and look underneath to inspect the belt, try turning by hand see if everything is free (will only freely turn in one direction only as brake acts in one direction). Check motor for rotation, remove the front panel for a look, to remove the front panel, at the seam between the front panel and lid push in a flat knife or screwdriver approx 4" in at each side to release the clips (one at each side). this will allow you to lift the top and then remove the two front panel fixing bolts 7-8mm to remove the front panel.

Remove the control console cover. Find the water level switch.
It has a small tube attached to it.
Remove the tube and blow air through it. It is probably stopped up. Reattach it to the water level switch.
Look over the length of the tube and may sure it is not pinched.
Set the washer to spin and run spin for about 1 minute.
Then run water on a lower level and see if it shuts off.
If not replace the water level switch.

That is a bad sign. If the buzzing starts when you press the start button and stops when you release its almost safe to say that the motor has a dead short or grounded out and causing that to happen. You can check the start switch by getting a multimeter and with the dryer unplugged take the wires off the switch, place a lead on each pin and press the start with meter set for continuity. If it shows continuity when presed and stops when released your motor is shot and needs to be replaced
If you can turn the drum and then the dryer starts you have a bad motor. The way the dryer works is when you initially push the start button, electricity is sent to the start winding, or stator, of the motor. This will in turn start the motor turning. From there the stator will drop out of the electrical process and at the same time the run winding, or rotor, will take over and the motor will continie to run. Your stator is damaged, has a burn spot, etc so by you turning the drum, the belt around the drum is moved which is attached to the motor pulley. You basically take the place of the stator. Long story short, you have a bad motor.
