CJINOHIO03 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 My sears is about 7 years old. It started smelling burnt the other day I shut it off. Two days late it worked fine. Today it I tried it makes a noise but the drum etc isnt spinning etc. It makes a humming noise though. Years ago a circuit board was replaced that was recalled. What could it be? What to check etc? Anybody do these types of repairs? Thanks CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Take it apart and figure that shit out. I don't know whats wrong with it, but it's a simple machine and you know how its supposed to work. Fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 When you shut the door there should be a little thing that pushes a button, so the dryer knows the door is closed. Use a pen or something to push that button, hit start, and shove the spinny thing inside with your hand. The motor might just be stuck.

Dave1647545494 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 sounds like the drive belt broke take the front of the machine off and look its even easier than working on a car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 sounds like the drive belt broke take the front of the machine off and look its even easier than working on a car This. Your exact symptoms happened to the dryer at our college house. Dude came, I believe put a new belt on, and pulled a shit ton of lint and crap out that caused the problem in the first place (dryer was previously used without the lint filter on). Should be a relatively easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJINOHIO03 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Yeah did some reading said it would be this or motor. I guess I will have to pull it out and work on this weekend. It is in a closest almost so it barely fits in there t begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJINOHIO03 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Well got the cover off belt is fine motor is gone/going though...took a cover off a plastic wheel/turbo shaft looking thing is all i can see. I assume the motor is behind there well I spun the wheel by hand and the motor started. I shut if off and wont start unless I spin it by hand. Obviously I dont/cant do this forever with no lint guard on it etc. Do you have to replace the motor from the back? I will try to post some pics up soon. Could it just be bound up some how? Should I try some electrical spray etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
