My White Knight 44AW, 6kg, tumble dryer makes a noise as though working but isn't turning at all. Is there anything I can do or is it in need of a new motor, hence will be as cheap to buy a new one

SOUNDS AS THE PULLIES ARE NEED REPLACEMENT

BARREL MOST LIKELY SCRAPING

take the back off look for heater and follow wire make up two wires the same colour fit a spade clip to both ends and replace

Look under the lip near the mounting area. There should be a spring, just gently pull it around till it is 180 degree or more . it will fall off.

Have had the same problem with the timer sticking on the model and the same time interval, now don't trust it's safe to use at any setting over 60minutes

hello check inside the door to see if the long pin hasn't snaped off this connects to the interlock that activates the motor if this is ok check the capacitor next to the motor this gives the motor a boost at switch on hope it helps

could be thermal limiter fuse in the back of the dryer. this can cause it to not heat but still the drum will turn
