Dryer will not start. i pull bottom, it makes a soft noise if i keep it pulled out and will not start.

For the fun of it I would pull the drum out of it and examin the bearing the drum rides on. Now some of these have a regular type wheel bearing type, and others have these wide plastic that the drum just rides on. But they are not that hard to take apart and put back together. Just need some practice.

Unplug The Dryer! I took my panels off a squeaky dryer and had to pull the drum out and Vaseline the shaft and the hole it come out of, keep track of some wires you may have to pull off, so you slip'em on in the same places you pulled em from,put it all back together and if done correctly you'll have your peace while doing laundry again. good luck

hi look at the lower bottom of front there are 2 screws pull from bottom hing out watch for door switch wires swing front around. look in side top left and right corners 2 5/16 or 3/8 bolts pull them out. lift top up you will see screws that hold fin. oh turn power off hope this helps jim

I had the same problem but it's the FRONT Panel you need to remove first. Before you start, unplug the thing first. BTW I did the whole proceedure in 2 minutes using an electric screwdiver / philips bit.
To open the dryer front you first take the door off by removing the two philips head screws, then slightly lift the door and pull toward you (the door hinges have little hooks on the end that inserts into the slots (this little design keeps the door from falling off during removal and install-nice). Then remove the two philips screws on the other side of the door opening (opposite the door hinges). These screws hold two plastic brackets (be sure to see how they are aligned before you remove them so you know how they go back on.

Now the front frame panel looks like an "H" . Grab the top two arms of the 'H" and give a quick pull. The top arms of the 'H" will come loose. The bottom part is held by a couple of clips, just pull up and the front panel comes off.

You will be able to see inside, you can also remove the two screws holding the top on (they are in the corners in the front) .

There can be many reasons why your dryer will not start or turn...

The most common causes are the belt breaking or jumping off, or the motor going bad...

Here are a couple of tips that I wrote will help you to figure out why your dryer will not run...

Dryer Repair - The dryer will not start

Sound like the dryer bearing or rollers are out. This would make it very hard for the dryer to start and run. You must pull the dryer drum out to access the parts. I'm sure you will see the problem right away once it is apart.

If you can open the walls of the dryer up check all screws and bolts that hold things together. Some times they will vibrate loose causing parts to make a vibrating sound against the frame itself.. Eventually the loose screws will just keep getting looser. Even the screws on the walls of the unit should be tightened That could cause a lot of noise.

check the door switch/ check wires make sure not loose / check capacitor at the bottom next to the motor it will have 2 wire coming of it this can stop the dryer working i hope this works

suspect noise from motor repair cost may exceed value but may want to ck rear drum bearing also this will mean pulling tub out bearing is on rear drum shaft not a hard fix but will need some mechanical know how ..good luck

sound slike something fell down there and is jamming the blower from turning. if the filter is ontop of the unit, remove the 2 phillips located under where the filter pulls out from. and the n remove all the screws on back panel youll see ( down the left side of unit ) the filter houosing, its secured by 3 5/16 screws toward the bottom portion of the housing, simply unscrerw and wiggle out, then remove the debris, and reassemble.
if the lint screen is located inside behind door, eitehr remove the bottom accesss panel or pop the top(with a screw driver approx 3 inches in from ither side of main top relaes the clips) the lid tips back revealing 2 screws holding front panel to the unit, after removing you will see the filter housing, still mounted by probalby 3-4 screws, remove the housing and retrieve the debris that has fallen down there
