Normally you have to push the start button. If I open the door and manually give the drum a push it will catch and run normal again. Start winding or capasitor?

The motor has a centrifugal switch that disconnects the start winding once the motor gets close to operating speed. You also will notice that it is wired in parallel with the push-to-start switch. It sounds like this switch is not resetting when it is hot, so the start winding is not in circuit. Could be that the mechanism is just dirty/clogged with lint.

Spring back on and unit resets very time. Thanks for your help in pointing me in the right direction. Flitzr 1 :)
