Sounds like a bad motor if it starts after it sit overnight it's the motor
Testimonial: "Thanks for the quick response! Yes, the dryer started again this morning but noise was worse (louder grinding noise). Thanks for your expert advice!!!"
Definitely the motor, if your pushing the knob in for the "on" position, you will hear an unusual noise almost like grinding. AND guess what, it was grinding, if if you look right under the bearing in the front of motor where the pulley is, you will notice there is oil, the means bearing seal is busted (most common problem with motors) looks like its difficult to pull but its not the hard, take out the drum and front panel first, vacuum everything inside and change the belt as well since your in that deep. Motor is 140 with tax, new motor is a better idea, belt is $30. so for under $200, you get pretty much a new dryer. this model is made to last. good luck, (and its not the timer, i have an extra one if anyone needs one) thanks, [email protected]
