Dryer won't spin
« on: September 22, 2009, 05:42:49 PM »
My LG - DLG3788W dryer will not spin, the motor makes a hum - I have removed the top and front and do not see any problem with the belt - the exhaust fan spins in-sink with the drum.  Any suggestions?

Sound like a bad motor or something binding that causes to much load on the motor to get it turning.
