Open the door and see if you can turn the drum at all by
hand. If so then tape the door switch in the closed position.
Then hold the startup switch in the start position while
at the same time giving the drum a good spin by hand,
you might need two people to do this,
(Just watch your hand when you do this). If the unit starts
then chances are that the start winding is bad in the motor.
If you cant turn the motor then either the motor bearings
are locked up or there could be something stuck in the blower.
