There's possibilty that the bearing is going bad. It would cause the belt to slide alittle when the drums starts to turn. The strain on the motor because of the bad bearing can cause the motor overload and shut down until it cools, then it can be restarted.

Hi,

There can be many reasons why your dryer will not start or turn...

The most common causes are the belt breaking or jumping off, or the motor going bad...

Here are a couple of tips that I wrote will help you to figure out why your dryer will not run...

I would need to smell the odor but a couple things will cause this. One being built up lint that is smoldering so I would definitely investigate inside for this. Also (more common with gas dryers) is when customers are painting or staining and varnishing in the house. This will give clothes a kerosene type odor. Try to think back to when it started and see if anything was changed in the household routine at that time. Good luck, Eric

motor is going out

it could be the belt slipping,the motor going bad, the motor start cap going out the drum bearing or motor bearings dried out causing over heating of unit causing electrical smell, hard to give a ball-park,anywhere from $50 to $300 for repairs depending parts required and labor/time

take the belt off the motor pulley and make sure the motor bearings are free, heat will kill the bearings on the motor

This sounds like the motor is bad. Hope you didn't pay too much for it. ;-)

if your belt is slipping change the belt also check the felt and rollers make sure thay are turning freely the next step after that is change the motor thank you for useing fixya please rate me

IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH YOUR MOTOR HAS LOCKED UP AND FAILED. THE BURNING SMELL IS THE VARNISH FROM THE WINDINGS OF THE MOTOR. REPLACE THE MOTOR. THEY CAN BE HAD FOR AROUND EIGHTY DOLLARS
