I'm lost and new to trying to fix my own appliances. I'm sure this is a novice question but we all start somewhere, right? For backstory... The motor definitely ceased as my dryer stopped mid cycle. Wouldn't start back up. Buzzing sound when I pushed start button. If I pushed too long, I tripped the breaker. Motor and fan were stuck. Ended up buying a new fan. Thermafuse is new as well. That occured because my husband insisted it was the thermafuse when i was certain it was the motor. $5 replacement. Ran for 1 dry cycle and ceased again mid cycle with a loud noise before stopping for the last time. 😂 I established I was correct from the beginning and motor needed replaced.

Fastforward....
I bought a used motor with a 30 day guarantee off Ebay. I got it set and followed the instructions. Pushed start got a loud noise. It sounded the same as the dryer did when the motor went out. I tried setting and resetting the motor several times now.I did get it quieter but I'm lost. I am so sure it's set correctly. Yet still a loud noise. Did I buy a bad motor? Belt, pulley and rollers look good according to all the repair videos I have seen. Uploaded a clip of the noise incase it is helpful.
