My whirlpool dryer powers on fine, press the start button, makes audible sound but nothing starts.
Here's what I've tried:
Multimeter test of thermal fuse - has continuity.
Also tested drum belt switch, door switch.
I took practically the entire thing apart and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
Diagnostic mode shows no error codes. Just 88 in the display. All buttons on control board seen in working order. Both circuit boards look clean without any burns or marks.
Drum spins fine manually, belt is fine. Drum rollers all spin.
One day it was working fine, the next day just wouldn't start. I'm pretty handy so I've been racking my brain troubleshooting this from youtube videos.
The only thing I haven't tackled is the motor itself. It spins without any resistance when I manually spin the drum as well as when the drum is off. It's clean and nothing it of place. Can't imagine that it just stopped working.
Please help. I don't see a reason to scrap this dryer but I will have to if I can't get it to go, go, go. Thanks
