When I hold the door switch down and press start it hums and I get heat, the fan turns on and I feel air coming from the back. If I spin the drum it turns but then stops. Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

I would say a broken belt but this model has a broken belt switch so the motor would not run if the belt was broken. If you have air flow, then the motor is running. Maybe the belt is worn/stretched and slipping or the idler pulley is wearing out. Eric

Now that it's back together when I hold the switch on with the door open I hear a hum and when I spin the drum it continues to spin. So now it is that it won't start to spin. Any suggestions would be grateful. Thanks
