I’ve come across a similar problem several times with these machines, mostly caused by excess build up of fluff on front felt bearing. Drum can hardly turn.
I do believe that the filters don’t really do a great job & a lot of stuff gets past & into machine.

After Cap replaced was quicker to start. Luckily just over 12 mths so no lint.

Capacitor failures are very common on these machines.

I always replace the 8 micro farad capacitor if it has a white top as these were the the ones that were failing mostly, the ones with the black top usualy were okay.
