I have a Frigidaire dryer model GLEQ332AS2 and the tub doesn't turn to tumble the clothes. I'm 99% sure it is the motor. When trying to start it just hums. It will turn (and run) if I hold the door switch, press the start button and start the tub spinning by hand then finally quickly shut the door. I think the motor is part 407697 but I'm looking for someone to confirm. The other thing I need is some instruction help on how to get to the motor. Do I have to remove the tub or drum? Or can I get to it from the back? Are there any online instructions with pictures?

Unplug or turn the breaker off to your dryer first of course.
