    Maytag Dryer tumber starts/stops
    I have a Maytag dryer. When I push the timer button, it just hums. If my wife pushes the button and I turn the drum, it will start, then it "clicks" and turns off, until the RPM's are low and then starts up again.

    I took the drum and belt off. The motor spins freely. I then spun the blower by hand without the belt and pushed the timer button. Again, it will only engage if the motor is spinning. But it will only stay on for about 4 tenths of a second. Then it "clicks" off and hums, and when the rpm's slow down, it will kick on again for another 4 tenths of a second.

    Not sure what this is. High Temp gauge? Motor Start solenoid or something?

    Any ideas?

    Sounds like the motor has gone bad
