Hello Steve, thank you for contacting us. Yes, a damaged belt, part number PS2349294, can cause the described issue. We would also recommend checking the idler arm assembly, part number PS16227173, before replacing the belt. Customer service is available seven days a week if you require assistance placing an order. Thanks again for reaching out!
The dryer will start and run for 5-10 seconds and shut off with the light flashing by the start pause button. I checked the thermal fuse for continuity and it was good. There is no blockage in the vent. I did notice the white wire was loose in the back so I put back on and still does same thing. I checked for 220 at the unit and I have the right voltage. Is it a motor issue or what im at a loss

Hello Matt, thank you for contacting us. Check the door switch, part number PS2330879. A faulty door switch will not detect a closed door. To determine if the door switch is working, try starting your dryer and then listen for the “click.” If the door switch makes a clicking sound, it is probably not defective. Check the high limit thermostat, part number PS446428. If the thermostat is faulty, it will not let the dryer turn on. Listen for the motor noise, if the motor, part number PS16620747, does not turn on or is faulty, the dryer will not turn on. We hope this information helps!
When I described the noise to a YouTube appliance diagnostician, I was directed to check the felt seals front and back of the rotating drum for wear, tears, or foreign objects. As it happens the felt seals looked find and there were foreign objects so, not wanting to disassemble and reassemble the dryer more than I had, I ended up replacing all the replaceable moving parts that I considered possible culprits: The idler tension spring, the idler tension bracket (which includes a nylon pulley wheel), the drum belt, the five rubber-tipped bearings that support the drum and keep it in place, and the foam seal on the blower housing which seemed a little brittle and old, as well as high-temperature adhesive for the latter. The instructional videos here and on YouTube were extremely helpful (I doubt that I would have attempted this job at all, had I not watched these ahead of time). The most time-consuming aspect was waiting for the arrival of the parts as I didn't order them all at the same time or all from the same place (I ordered from whomever could ship me a given part the fastest. Disassembly took less than an hour. Re-assembly with the new parts in place took about the same but was a little more awkward because this appliance sits in a very narrow closet and it's difficult to ensure that the 4" flexible duct stays in place when sliding the appliance back into the closet. No regrets. Now I know the basics if this dryer needs attention in future and I also know all the parts that I can eliminate as suspects in any future maintenance (the parts that I replaced)
1. Loosened the 3 screws inside of the drum 2. Removed the entire back of the dryer (lots of screws) 3. Removed the old vent (there are 2 screws at the bottom that hold it in) 4. Install new vent (put the screws back in) 5. Close up back and proceed to put all of the screws back
I removed the front, top and back panels of the dryer, installed belt around drum and through the pulley system so the belt was snug, replaced all screws and panels, and done.
