The drum would stop turning after running about 15 minutes. Then it got to the point where it would not turn any more. By taping in the door switch, I could get it to run after giving it a helping start. Then it wouldn’t even run with the helping start. I noticed the idler wheel was not turning. The wheel was severely worn down. I removed the drum belt and the motor runs fine by itself. I replaced the idler assembly and the drum belt. I cleaned the lint off the motor, which wasn’t much. It still did not fix the problem. The drum stops turning after a few minutes and a buzz sound. What specific parts should I consider replacing next? Everything else is original except some heating parts. I would also appreciate any instructions on how to replace whatever other parts you suggest. Thank you.
