Mark I have a whrilpool cabrio dryer and when I hit the start button the drum does not turn but the heating coil turns on. Could it be a bad motor (motor number 8566152) or I noticed the switch on the pulley (part number 8564012). Thanks Marcus
Answer Mark, You most likely have a faulty motor WPW10463866. The dryer should not heat, unless the motor rotates and turns the drum. The idler pulley switch WP8564012 would eliminate power to the motor, if the belt were broken. Without a model number and wiring diagram that's as far as we can get at this point. If you need more assistance, please include a model number of the dryer when you re post. Thanks Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, September 13, 2013
