IT could be the motor. It also could be a start relay or belt switch if this model has has either one. I could not find your model number. Will you please re check the model number for me? About how old is this unit?

Yes. This does seem like an older unit but, I’m not able to look up your exact model. It does sound like a bad motor. Some models have the start relay incorporated into the start switch. If no start relay then you most likely have a bad motor.

Hi. Does the dyer stop running as soon as the start button or sometime into the cycle? Usually when a dryer motor becomes weak it will shut off in the middle of a Cycle and if you try to start it right away it will just hum. Once it cools down it will start again. Does the motor hum when you try and start it? Make sure that the drum supports and bearings are good. Is the drum hard to move the drum by hand ? If the motor is shutting down or just humming and the drum can be rotated easily then you have a weak motor than will need to be replaced.
