    Default White Westinghouse WER211ES0 drum wont turn.

    Model Number: WER211ES0
    Brand: White-Westinghouse
    Age: 6-10 years

    Dryer was manufactured in 01/06. Long story short, when you push the start button, (regardless of settings) there is a humming noise, but the drum doesn't start to turn. I am wondering if this is a belt or motor, or should I just get to ripping this thing apart to find out?

    Thank you for any help offered up in advance.

    Yes, more likely the belt, I'd check that first.

    Jake, I took the top off of the dryer, and I think the belt definitely needs to be replaced. What I did discover is that the belt is worn, but the dryer will spin now when there is no load inside the dryer. As long as there is any weight within the drum, it returns to it state of meditation hummmmmmmm. Does this new symptom lead me down an additional path, or will a belt cure all my woes?

    Jake I think I am going crazy. I have a new motor and new blower housing (other one refused to come off the drive shaft of the other motor) but when I took the dryer apart the first time, I got a separate ball bearing that I have no idea where to put it. I think this is the bearing for removing static electricity. It is about 1/2" in diameter, but I dont have a clue where to put this thing. Can you advise? Sorry for not having a clue as to what I am doing.White Westinghouse WER211ES0 drum wont turn.-i_a735dd_2270945.jpg

    Is it the small ball bearing in this kit below? At the video time starting at 2:20?

    Here's the rear bearing kit for your model:

    Quick answer, no. Now I have no idea where this ball bearing came from. It is about 1/2" in diameter and doesn't look like it has any grease on it at all. I think it's a rouge bearing.
