With the drum removed and the belt off, the motor will start but it does take a few seconds of holding the button for it to kick in and run on its own but with the drum and belt in place it just won't do it.

I am running the dryer right now (because I really needed some underwear) I did it by taping down the door switch, lifting the top cover holding the start button while pushing the drum by hand until it took off. I then threw in my wet clothes and I'm off to the races. This is hardly a convenient way to keep doing laundry though.

I did have a similar problem about a year ago (which is why I had a spare NEW motor) that turned out to be the outlet at the wall. I don't think thats the case this time since I'm getting good voltage at the wall and the machine.

Checked cord at machine with volt meter, Good.

Door switch, works. Timer works. Jumped the thermo fuse, No change.

Removed drum and belt, Motor spins freely.

Motor will run under power but takes a few seconds to kick up to running in what I would call the "on" position. If you just tap the switch it won't achieve the "on" and running position. Motor shaft will spin freely by hand when not under power.
