I have a Kenmore Dryer that I had to replace the motor in. I bought a
new motor off eBay, replaced it (the motor looked identical and the
model/part numbers matched - motor part #279827) and put the dryer back
together. Thought everything worked fine as soon as I hit the START
button it fired up, but for some reason with this new motor as soon as
you release the START button the dryer stops. I'm pretty sure its not
the Heat Control/Timer as what are the odds of the motor and the timer
going at the same time? Any ideas?
