Indesit Tumble Dryer Help?

I had initially asked..


We have an Indesit IS70CS condensing dryer.

For several months it was making a squeaking noise when on, then the other day the drum stopped turning.
The drum spins if empty, although with a bit of delay for the thing to start turning, stick a load in and it doesn't turn and we get the obligatory smell of burning as the motor is turning but not moving the belt.

I've had the top off, belt is fine.

Is it bearings or belt stretch?



I can add the following:

Still not sorted this, getting earache so got to fix it.

Had another good look.

With a load in the drum won't spin, the spindle of the motor is not turning, so the burning smell isn't the spindle spinning against a stationary belt.

I am presuming new motor?
