Dryer would not start. Would get buzzing sound when pushing start button. Took front of dryer off. Observed drum turning slightly when holding in start button along with a burning smell. Then turned the drum by hand while holding the start button and the drum turned at its normal speed. Repeated sequence twice with same results.
After trying a third time, do not get a buzzing and does not turn, even slightly. I am assuming the motor is a gonner, but is there anything else that may now be bad?

No, that would be the motor. Tom Appliance Educator, Appliance Parts, Washer and Dryer Parts, Refridgerator and Freezer Parts, Stove and Oven Parts
