it looks like you need to put the belt back on which is inside the machine. to do this open the lid with screws on back take lid off then you should see the belt inside the machine and where is was before on the drum of the machine. slip it back on and put lid back on and it should start turning again. hope this helps.

you have a bad motor,most likely.

To be certain whether it is the element or thermostats that are faulty,you really need a test meter to check them with, as it is not obvious if they are faulty or not, simply by looking at them
Hope this helps.

Sounds like the drive belt has gone,and the noise you can hear is the motor going round.
The red glow you can see, will be the heater element glowing..
To check the belt, remove top cover, and you will be able to see if the belt is on or not, if you can see it round the drum, try to lift it up, if it has not broken,then you will not be able to remove it, and that means the motor or drum could be siezed, try to turn the drum by hand, it should be fairly stiff to turn, but not that stiff that you cannot turn it at all.

Please rate my fixya solution.
Thanks.

Motor going bad. Run windings inside are burneded up.  Start windings are ok. replace motor.

Put belt on motor pully first then turn big pully around!Like fitting bike chain.
