Possible Causes
Failed drive motor, Defective motor start capacitor, Broken or jammed blower wheel, Faulty motor relay on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before any internal inspection.
- Check drum movement: Open the door and try to rotate the drum by hand. It should turn smoothly. If it is very stiff or jammed, inspect for foreign objects between drum and cabinet.
- Listen for motor hum: When starting (briefly reconnect power for this test), if you hear a humming but no drum movement, the motor or start capacitor may be failing.
- Inspect belt and blower: Remove the top and front panels to access the drum belt and blower wheel. Ensure the belt is intact and the blower wheel is not obstructed by lint or debris.
- Test motor and capacitor: With power disconnected, test the motor windings for continuity and the capacitor for proper capacitance using a multimeter. Replace any defective components.
If the motor and capacitor test good, the issue may be with the motor relay or main control board, which usually requires professional replacement.
