My dryer has stopped working and I am hoping to learn to fix it myself with your help (hopefully). Its an Amana model nde2335ayw fairly old but not sure how old as I just bought this house and they left it. When I try to start the dryer by setting the knobs and then pressing in on the timer/start knob I hear a humming which I believe is from the motor but it doesn’t spin and it doesn’t stay on. As soon as I release the knob the humming stops nothing starts. I manually (with my hand) rotated the drum and quickly shut the door and pressed the on button and it did turn on once and stayed on until I turned it off by opening the door but it will not turn on again without “help”. I assume this is a motor problem but wanted to get assurances from experienced people before doing anything. Can I repair or rebuild the motor? Any other troubleshooting I should do? I really can’t afford to replace or call a professional right now so was hoping to get it back to running myself although I suppose there is always the cost of parts possibly.
