Whirlpool AWZ3303

Hi,

I have a Whirlpool AWZ3303 that makes a loud buzzing noise when turned on. Much like if you stall an electric drill.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks

Ben

Fan loose?

Motor?

Tension wheel if fitted?

You’d have to look see but those are the primary suspects.

Thanks I’ll take a look.

I should have mentioned that the drum does not turn any more.

Hi,

I’ve had the back off and took some pictures and a video which can be seen here.

I moved the drum by hand and it then started moving on its own until the motor stopped and tried to spin the drum in reverse. Then it seemed to seize up again. The video shows the motor trying to move the drum in reverse and then forward again.

All the wheels that the drum sits on move freely and the belt it tight on the drum.

Any ideas?
