Buzzing Motor, Drum doesn't turn on its own.

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

My dryer stopped working, now the motor just loudly hums and it does not turn at all.

The belt is still on and if I push the door trigger in and turn the drum manually and press start the motor will turn the drum in whichever direction that I turn it.

I took the lid off and tried to turn drum but hand, it did turn and as it is supposed to be, it was stiff to turn.

I decided to test the strength of the motor so while i has it turning i put some resistance on the drum from the inside and it was plenty strong, the problem seems to be just getting the motor started.

Any clue on what could be causing this?

thanks

=== Update (06/14/2017) ===

I read online it could also be a lint jam... so, i have cleaned it all out, blew and vacuumed it... the support wheels seemed fine, I can turn the motor which turns the drum with just a pinky.

I will put it back together tonight and see how it goes.
