Dryer was over heating and turning itself off.
I replaced the 150 degree thermostat.
When starting the dryer last night it appeared to work properly.
This morning loaded the dryer with clothes and when I pressed the star button, all it did was make a loud buzzing noise and the drum did not turn.
Am I looking at replacing the motor??
Thanks,
Steve
P.S. I’m still not sure that the thermostat I replaced was a bad one. The other thermostat part #339908 is apparently no longer available.
Any help would be appreciated
I have a similar problem, the motor made a loud buzzing noise when I tried to start the unit. (I had the front cover off and my ear close to the motor with someone else pushing the button) I used my DVOM to compare the values of the new motor to the old motor before I try to remove the old motor. The values match exactly. Now I am not sure the motor is bad because I expected to find a short to ground or at least a lower resistance value on the old motor. I am not going to actually install the new motor until I can get a bit of advice. Thank you for your assistance.
