Probably as old as March 1999 according to a review online.

May want to contact manufacturer if necessary.

it may not be in that area your problem lies,a common problem is the capacitor. with the door open and the door switch activated by using a small screw driver,push start and try to rotated the bowl help it get rotating if it goes around with a bit of help to get it going then its the capacitor, easy to replace

Could be the door switch or temp sensor. To check the door switch put pressure against the door and see if it stops. Check the slot the door hits to see if there is anything loose in there.

Yes, (2) certainly sounds like the start/run capacitor has failed. You will see it has a split or bulging case, or a displaced end cap. Replace it with one of the same voltage rating and capacitance.

I can't advise you on (1)

Sounds like you have a bad idler and/or belt.

sounds like it maybe the motor, here are other reasons the drum won't turn and how to open the dryer. Good Luck Tim:

Diagnostic Mode
Entering the Diagnostic Mode
(a) Turn the power supply to the dryer on.
(b) Press and hold the Auto Dry down button, then press the Power
button.
The dryer is now in level 0 of the diagnostic mode. After initial entry into the
diagnostic mode, the Start/Pause button operates the dryer as normal. Press
the Auto Dry up or down buttons to scroll through the fault levels.
There are several levels of diagnostics, most of which are used in
development and production. These levels may bring on various LEDs, but
the level of use for the service technician is that of the last fault.
Last Fault
To enter the last fault diagnostics, enter the diagnostic mode as described
above, then press the Auto Dry up button three times. The last fault will be
displayed on the drying progress LEDs.
The manual is here

I had this same problem with my Dryer. It is making the few quick beeps because it thinks the door is still open. Near the bottom of the opening to the dryer there is a sensor switch that gets pushed in when you shut the door. Try holding the switch in with a knife or something and then start the dryer with the door open to check if that is the problem.
After i did this, i closed the door and my dryer started as normal.

I had the same problem,fixed it today with a replacement capacitor,cost $10 2nd hand (only cos I couldnt find a new one today and wanted it fixed now!)Unplug appliance, took off the back panel,underneath the motor on bottom left is the capacitor,remove the 2 wires, pull the capacitor out its bracket,replace,refit the 2 wires,replace back panel and Badabing Badabang!! My machine is working to full capacity again.
Pays to check out these forums doesnt it!!!
