Greetings,
Drum will not turn, manually turning will start, otherwise motor just hums. Is there a start capitor or thermal disc, etc., that starts motor or is motor just defective?

Here are your parts Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL WED5800SG0 29"electric Dryer | AppliancePartsPros.com[COLOR="Blue"]Is there a start capitor or thermal disc, etc., that starts motor[/COLOR] No, the motor uses a start winding to start it. This is then switched out of circuit by a centrifugal switch built into the motor assembly once the motor gets close to operating speed. [COLOR="Blue"]or is motor just defective[/COLOR] Yes odds are high that the motor is toast. One thing you could check is that there is not a bad or loose connection to the start/run switch on the motor. |
