Mend Whirlpool Dryer Drum Turning

Dryer starts but drum stops runnig when clothes are added?

Our Whirlpool Dryer stops turning after clothes are added to the drum. When this first started, I smelled an odor like rubber burning. Hitting the start button would not restart the dryer. However, after a period of cooldown, it would begin again. I think it is the motor. BUT I am having a hard time finding someone who is willing to look at it. I was concerned that the belt may be at fault, as well. It looks good. Whirlpool Supreme, Heavy Duty, 7 cycle/ 4 Temp.

Hello,

It sure sounds like a bad motor is possible. A motor will start up and run for a while and then shutdown when it heats up only to start once again when it cools down. Make sure your dryer is not overheating with a blocked up exaust vent and also make sure the area inside the dryer is clean and nothing is holdng the motor back from turning.
