Dryer motor hums but will not start - How to fix?!

- If the dryer motor hums and dryer will not start, then this video will help fix the problem.
Before you do the operation, as shown in the video, you must first all be cleaned completely in a vacuum dryer.
If this video does not work, replace the motor.
Thanks for taking the time and uploading the video! Simple fix! I would recommend anyone that is planning to do this try and find out how to disassemble the dryer the proper way I ended trying to take the backside off. But the easiest way is to remove the door side to gain access to the motor
My guess - the moving centrifugal start switch on the motor is stuck (from lint in the old grease? no grease?) in position so the start windings are not being energized. Sunny is freeing up that switch and relubricating it. I like the idea of a dry lubricant so lint won't get stuck there again.
Thank's friend, dryer back in service. I didn't miss the blaring music auto guy's use while they wrench.
Watch and learn people -- that's the real world... 5 stars for this video.
Yeap totaly agree!! No show of face person or anything calling for "attention"
Genius! This worked like a charm. Many thanks! Made me look like a hero to my wife as well ;)
Sunny, Great Information,Thanks for Sharing your Expertise 👍🏽
Big Help!
Fix for me. Thank You!
That is the centrifugal switch. Not sure why greasing it helped. Looks like it would have started up anyway but but just run in the start windings until they burned out.
The switch lets the motor start on the start windings then slides back as the motor reaches speed and switches to run windings.
Scratching my head in this.
But hey, it seemed to have worked.
Maybe some of f the grease got in the motor bearing/ bushing and that solved the problem.
¡Al buen entendedor pocas palabras! Good video my dear quiet friend, thanks for sharing your quiet knowledge!
I just did this repair to my dryer. Many thanks to Sunny!
One tip: I don't recommend using the white lithium grease as shown in the video. Grease will attract and stick dust/lint. Instead, I used compressed air @120psi to thoroughly clean all of the dust out the motor and it's start/run mechanism. (Vacuum the entire inside of the dryer first!) After just a good cleaning, the mechanism worked fine. I then followed up with a dry teflon spray lubricant that won't attract dust but will help keep things slippery as well as prevent dust from sticking on the mechanism again.
how are we supposed to know what you are doing when you dont speak??
I will speak something next time =) sorry.
😂😂😂😂😂
This fixed my Samsung dryer!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this video!!!
Ignore the haters..... video is self explanatory!!! 👍🏻
ebeep
There is a mechanical disconnect that locks the motor output shaft. This video is showing us how to re-engage that mechanism. It’s a black plastic “widget” surrounding the shaft. The screwdriver is perfect tool to use while pushing it back into position. This happened to my Samsung dryer
What type of lube is that? Need to know asap
@@4ReelFishing what type lube? On way to look at one now for a disabled lady. Hums no spin
White Lithium Grease is what he's using. Says "WL-8 ver10" on the tube. Probably better to use a graphite-silicone grease, rather than the lithium one, as there is so much dust in the environment...
Thank you, though, for the trick!
Thank you
Yep it works if you lube it as shown. Just use a dry lube instead of grease or silicone. The lint won't stick then.
What is an example of a dry lube for us who are not mechanically inclined?
Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and ask for some dry spray lube used for paddlelocks.
okay, so I tried that and it worked, but then when I reassembled the unit I forgot to take the drum belt from the holder and the machine was spinning just fine with the exception of the noise from the loose belt, so I went back in and placed the belt back on the pulley closed her up and back to square one with the hum on start but no start.
Can't believe someone posted greasing the centrifugal to fix a humming motor! Surely you don't do this for a living. Know anything about start windings? Motor switch?
Would never do this and expect a permanent fix.
@@piddler5188 So what would you recommend?
@@Cards-In-The-Closet replace the motor with anew one
@@litoumali why? When its the switch
What is the thing in tube called?
Motor switch
Cat G...If you can't figure out what he is doing, then maybe you shouldn't be tinkering around in your dryer.
What are you doing?
Wow...all the haters in the comments lol. If you can't figure out what he's doing, you probably have no business using tools or taking anything apart.
I get what people are saying about the silence but rudeness is not necessary,it's a lot of what is wrong with the world today,if you don't like it they have more videos,move on.
I'm so lost.....there no explanations or how to remove the motor to begin with
Lol this guy funny
Forgot to say I would never hire you to fix any of my appliances
my teddy bear speak more than the person in the video. Mr Charles Chaplin !
It's like a nasty movie
Dryer repair guy they forgot the you look thirsty part and....🤔😁😆😉😎
Please talk us through it next time. There were no directions on how to disassemble the dryer casing or words to explain what you were doing and why.
Did everything on my Kenmore. Hums and still won't start. Fans spins, dryer tub spins by hand and still nothing. Grease will help but it should spin and start without grease if it spins by hand. Common sense. Time to buy a new one.
well that was useless
Are you in the witness protection program? I would really like to know what you're doing. Use your words.
Word...🤔😁😉😎
LOL !
Apparently these ppl are all new to youtube, and have never seen a silent video. If you don't understand what the creator of this video is doing, then you probably have no business servicing electrical equipment.
They have every BUSINESS servicing their equipment. Just fucking SPEAK. Quit dicking around. Clear instructions while servicing. Now unless he is mute, he is just a dick.
Most of us are watching the video because we aren't appliance "service" people. Some of us are single mothers with no one to help and no $ to pay the Maytag Man to visit. (Maytag Man is a joke). So cut us a break too because we kind of don't have a clue to what he's doing unless, like me, you watch 10 other videos and piece them all together. THEN I can tell what he's doing.
There's just no reason for a silent video. ? 99.99999% of the viewers don't expect silence. It's just weird. Not a big deal, just weird.
I just hope I fix my dyer.
Have a good day and Tally Ho!
Never ever make another silent movie again - EVER!
Come on bro you could've just left if you didn't understand. Energy put out returns multiplied
Why don't you talk, are you camera shy? Tell us what the hell you are doing and why. This was slightly better than worthless, but not much
This is a COMPLETE waste of 2:08 of your life..
It's like a nasty movie
