I closed door and turned the start dial to the right and all I got (still get) is a hum while I am turning the start dial. It never had a burning smell. I can't afford a repair man. Can you help me with what you think is wrong, the part you think I need by buy and how to fix it instructions?? (Recently fixed our washing machine by changing out the water pump.) Thank you, thank you, thank you. Barbara Ellen
