Symptoms of a bad Dryer Drive Motor include:

• The dryer not starting when the start button is pressed
• Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing
• The dryer stopping unexpectedly during cycles
• A burning smell coming from the dryer

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
