Makes me wonder if the motor overloaded, and burnt out. Did
you check for continuity?

I have a KitchenAid electric clothes dryer, Type I with the
lint
screen on the top of the dryer. Model number keys750Jq1 if
anyone
cares.

A few days ago, I pressed the start button and it did not
tumble.

When I pressed on, it made the usual clicking noise and made
the usual
"sound it makes," minus the turning of the drum.

Tried to get it to go a few more times by twisting the timer
to zero
and then to time, turning off and on the circuit breaker,
etc. It
would click on and rumble, but no turning.

I then tried to turn drum. It was near impossible. I
finally got it
to turn. Tried again with the switches, no luck.

Took off the front. The idler pulley was missing the plastic
wheel
(nowhere to be seen) and the belt was slightly chewed.
Bought a new
idler pully and new belt.

Tried to turn the metal motor shaft that the belt loops
around. The
motor shaft turned easily.

Put in new idler pulley and belt and put it back together.

Drum turned fine. Turned on machine. Clicked on again, but
drum does
not turn. Turns easily enough if I turn from the inside of
dryer.

I am thinking it might be some sort of switch in the control
panel.
This is an old analog dryer. Any thoughts?
