Hello, the other day my dryer just all of a sudden would not start. The timer switch works fine, and when I "push to start", it makes a buzzing noise as if it is sending electricity, but the drum does not move at all. I do not have an ohmmeter to test the current and money is a bit tight at the moment. Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, and it is a Capri model from Sears.

EDIT: If I hold the start button in for about ten seconds, it will make a click noise and then produce no sound at all as if something has been tripped. If I wait roughly a minute, it will make the buzzing noise again when I try to start it.

Perhaps it is 110. 86910100

Somehow I'm failing at this.

The image of the service tag is attached just in case I'm hallucinating.

Hi.

Try this:

Open the door, tape the door switch in closed position.
Set the timer on, push the start button and turn the tumbler. If the motor kicks in - replace it. (Motor start winding most likely is bad).

The motor Part number: 279827
Part number: 279827


Use the video clip for instructions.

Post the results.

Simon.
