Help! My Frigidaire won’t drain after the wash cycle is complete. It was installed in 2002, I have not installed a new disposal, & the is no obstructions. I replace the drain valve & solonoid to no avail. Any ideas? 
I’m an idiot Gene! I found a blockage. Appeared to be mashed potatos! It was the drain pump I replaced (for nothing). Thanks for the help!
I’m glad you were able to fix it.

Like mine, you might not see the obstruction. Take the hose off at both ends & try blowing air through the line. If you can’t, obviously you have a blockage. Don’t do what I did though! Drain as much water out of the unit before you disconnect it at the dishwasher! This way you won’t end up with water all over the floor & dripping into the basement!

Unfortunately it looks like you need a new motor.
Note that there are 2 types depending on the blower in the machine.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll use it.

I have a Maytag MDG9606AWW that wouldn’t start. Dried a load this morning with no problems as usual then on the next load I pressed the Start button and it made the same hum noise at the original post and wouldn’t go.
So I thought I’d try what Jay did by taping down the door switch so I could press the start button and hand-turn the drum to get it started. It started all right, then smoke started coming out and stunk up the house. I quickly pulled the plug. I took the front off and pulled out the drum so I could make sure there wasn’t a fire inside. Seems safe now.
I’ve seen many threads blame the problem on a thermal fuse. But I’m thinking the motor is fried and must be replaced.
Am I on the right track? Anything else I should be concerned about?
