FAQ
How do I know the motor is the issue?
If the dryer hums, overheats, or stalls while drive parts seem intact, the motor becomes more likely.
Can belt resistance make the motor seem bad?
Yes. Worn rollers or a bad belt can overload the motor.
Should I inspect the rollers too?
Yes. The full drive path should be checked before replacing the motor.
Is a motor repair worth it?
It often is, especially if the rest of the dryer is in good condition.
