Steve for Model Number pye2300ayw (?) performa Seems like bearing motor is bad. I took motor out and it turns by hand, no problem. The motor seems to be running half speed and a burning smell happens after 15 seconds, or so. Motor alone same, half speed. Motor shaft moves back/forth tiny bit, but, not any wobble in bearing. Does the motor switching module go bad (the switch attached to motor with brush-like switch) (terminology?)
Answer Hello Steve. Yes, the switch in the motor can go bad and cause the problem you are having. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the motor W10410996 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, January 13, 2012
