My husband overloaded the dryer and now it won't run. When you press the on button, it makes about 2 revolutions and then stops. You can also smell the heating element when doing this. The drum gives resistance when turned manually. How do we diagnose the problem so we can replace the broken part?

the only other thing to check is to see if something did not fall into the blower wheel. take the back off the dryer, and if you are behind it on the left hand side is where the filter goes in. there are four 5/16s screws holding it in place. take those off, and also pull the lint filter out, and remove the 2 phillip head screws, and then slide the cover to the right, and it will expose the blower wheel. check it out, and let me know. tom [url=]applianceeducator.com - parts[/url]

Okay, we checked the blower wheel and everything seems to be fine. Nothing stuck. Thanks for your help. Do you think we should just buy a new motor or check something else?

what about the belt? Or, is that what we just checked? I would expect the belt to be rubber - correct?

It still sounds like the motor to me. If the belt looks worn replace it too. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

It is wraped around the drum. Look how it goes on, before you take it off. Rib side down. Tom ApplianceEducator.com
