Anthony Y Kaneohe , HI October 11, 2014 Appliance: Kenmore Electric Dryer 11082824102 Motor would not start when start button pressed for one second lights up and hear motor solenoid click but no start Checked thermal fuse, belt pulley switch, door switch, and motor windings (primary 2.3 ohms start 2,2 ohms). Called Appliance Pros, told them my problem. They said that it appears to be the motor even though the ohm readings seam Ok and that I could return the motor if it was not the problem.

Steven B Vashon , WA October 21, 2016 Dryer motor (front loader) hummed but didn't have enough power to spin the drum Replaced the motor. Removal of the old motor was straightforward except that the fan was stuck to the motor shaft. Had to destroy the fan to remove it; good, on-line instructions for solving that problem. With new fan and new motor, replacement was easy. If I had to do it again, or on another, similar machine, it would take less than half the time. I'd assume the fan problem and order it at the same time as the motor in order to avoid delay Read More... 3 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Nut Drivers, Screwdrivers
