    Presumably the start capacitor has blown, which is cheap and fixable, or the motor itself has gone, in which case a trip to the tip is the only economic option.

    Either way, the dryer has to be demolished to access the motor assembly, so time for a bit of pro help.

    Check repairs@ or Directories for a UKW repairer in your area. If you are feeling brave, please ensure the plug is pulled before working on the machine.

    Generally, you don’t have to remove the motor to fit a capacitor. The drum and front panel do have to go to give you enough room though. The thermostats are integral with the heater unit from memory, so it may be necessary to replace that as an assembly. The heater is in the shop@ module, as are a range of generic capacitors – match the “uf” value for the one you require.

    Be proud, not humble 😉

    TV 630s were on Watchdog due to fire hazards but I think they were due to heating elements
