    Hi all, I am looking for some help and advice, I have a diplomat sensor dry APM 8620 integrated tumble dryer. I have had it for 4 years without a problem. Now it will not work correctly. When I turn the time dial on to work there is an audible noise (Buzzing) but the drum does not turn. I can turn the drum manually and close the door and the drum will turn on its own as it should do but the cloths remain damp. The top of the integration unit then becomes hot. Please can anyone advise what I can do? I do not have a manual for it so I wonder if anyone can help me out.
    Many thanks
    John

    Motor start/run capacitor has failed – this device effectively gives the motor a boot up the backside to get it going.

    You need one of THESE.

    Power off if you intend to do this yourself.
