I HAVE THIS DRYER AND OCCASIONALLY IT IS RELUCTANT TO START TURNING WHEN START IS PRESSED ,IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS LABOURING. I THOUGHT AT FIRST THE DRUM WAS TIGHT BUT HAVING DISCONNECTED THE BELT THE MOTOR STILL STRUGGLES TO TURN. I SUSPECT THE CAPACITOR OR THE MOTOR BUT AM NOW CONFUSED AFTER READING ABOUT THE BEARINGS ETC . IT IS THE MODEL WITH PADS FOR THE FRONT BEARINGS.
hi, it will just need a new capacitor, dont try to use it in the meantime or you will also need a set of thermostats, just check the uf rating on the capacitor to make sure you get the correct one, plug out first of course
