    Dryer Barrel won't Turn
    Today the dryer barrel simply stopped turning. The board lights up and I can set the time, etc, but when I push start button, it just buzzes for a few seconds and then does nothing. Is there a re-set button somewhere I can access, or is this a sign of a greater problem?

    MBAR275 - see if you can turn the drum by your hand ; if it turns this way it should be the drum belt is broken and needs replaced;; if it won't turn like this then you may have a bad motor that turns the drum ; you will have to get the bottom open and check it out ; have someone work the controls on top while you watch [[ ; the drum could have slipped down from the center bearings, they could have went bad ; the belt may have just slipped off the pully ,and not be broken ;; I hope this has helped you out ;good luck and GOD BLESS ;;LET US KNOW WHAT YOU FIND :: F.B.E.
